You’ve booked the procedure. You know when and where to check in. You’ve probably made arrangements to take some time off and recover.
THEN… you find out there’s one more thing you need to arrange: someone to pick you up and accompany you home. Finding someone who is available isn’t always as easy as it sounds. People work, live far away from Tri-Cities, are busy with other things… not to mention… asking for a favour can be uncomfortable.
Whatever your situation, Miss Happy Helper can be there when it’s time to go home.
Trina provides medical escort and surgery pickup services in Port Moody, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and throughout Metro Vancouver, so you can have your discharge arrangements taken care of ahead of time.

You Also Don’t Have to Ask Someone to Rearrange Their Day
Sometimes you technically could ask a friend, neighbour, coworker or family member – but you’d rather not.
And that’s okay.
Surgery times change. Discharge times change. What sounds like a quick favour can turn into asking someone to keep several hours of their day open.
Hiring someone specifically for your surgery pickup means you don’t have to feel guilty about inconveniencing anyone or worry about whether they’ll still be available if things run late.
You can simply know that someone is coming for you.
Why Do I Need Someone to Accompany Me Home?
After anesthesia, sedation or certain medications, you may think you’ll be perfectly capable of heading home on your own – but their effects can last longer than you realize. It’s simply not safe.
That’s exactly where I come in.
Trina will Be Your Pickup Person at Eagle Ridge Hospital
When you book a surgery pickup with Miss Happy Helper, you’re not booking a transportation company that gives you a 2-hour pickup window or hoping a driver arrives at exactly the right moment. You’re booking a person who will is guaranteed to be there for you when you are ready to go.
I reserve the morning or afternoon for your booking, remain flexible when discharge timing changes, meet you at Eagle Ridge Hospital, and accompany you home via Uber once the hospital has cleared you to leave. Your Uber ride is included.
You will also be able to provide my contact information to the staff ahead of time. Many places will not allow you to proceed with a procedure UNTIL you confirm your pickup person.
Day Surgery & Outpatient Procedures at Eagle Ridge Hospital
Located at 475 Guildford Way in Port Moody, BC, Eagle Ridge Hospital is part of Fraser Health and serves Port Moody and the surrounding Tri-Cities communities. The hospital provides both inpatient and outpatient care and has dedicated Surgical Daycare and Ambulatory Care services.
Patients attend Eagle Ridge for a variety of surgeries and same-day procedures, including minor surgical procedures and diagnostic or therapeutic endoscopy procedures. Many of these patients are able to return home the same day rather than being admitted overnight.
That makes planning for your discharge an important part of preparing for your procedure.
