About ElevenO3 CareLink Solutions

Transportation Planned by People Who Understand the Care Around It.

ElevenO3 CareLink Solutions was founded by a hospital Patient Access professional and a licensed social worker who saw the same gap from two sides of healthcare: the appointment may be carefully planned, but the transportation is often left for the patient or family to solve alone.

We built ElevenO3 to make transportation part of the plan from the beginning—coordinated around the appointment, the rider’s mobility needs, facility instructions, and the return home.

Why We Built ElevenO3

They Saw the Transportation Gap From Inside Healthcare.

Hear Frank and Cherranda explain what they witnessed in healthcare, why ordinary ride options were not enough, and how ElevenO3 was designed to support people before, during, and after planned care.

“Moving Standards means treating the ride as part of the care plan—not the part a patient has to figure out alone.”

Meet the Founders

Two Healthcare Perspectives. One Shared Standard.

Frank and Cherranda bring complementary experience to ElevenO3. Together, they lead a company built around coordination, dignity, and the details that matter after the appointment is scheduled.

Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer

Frank spent three years working in Patient Access within Houston hospitals. In that role, he saw how easily continuity of care could break down when a patient’s ride home was not planned with the same attention as the appointment itself.

Frank leads the company’s strategy, business development, healthcare relationships, and service-performance oversight. His focus is making transportation a confirmed, coordinated part of the care journey across Greater Houston.

How Experience Shapes the Service

The Standard Begins Before the Vehicle Arrives.

ElevenO3 was not created as a general ride service. It was built around the realities people face when transportation is connected to healthcare: precise appointment times, mobility assistance, sensitive procedures, facility instructions, changing discharge times, and the need to keep a family member or care coordinator informed.

Healthcare-Informed Planning

Transportation is coordinated around the appointment and what happens next.

Dignity in the Details

Assistance is not treated as an extra when the rider needs help through the door.

Clear Operating Responsibility

The founders maintain direct oversight of strategy, operations, training, and performance.

Built for Real Appointments

Fertility care, cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures, outpatient discharge, and general healthcare transportation.

Built With Structure

Care Has to Show Up in the Training, the Process, and the Handoff.

ElevenO3’s operating standards are being built around passenger assistance, safety, mobility support, privacy awareness, and planned communication.

Wheelchair-Securement Training

Documented founder preparation includes Q’Straint Wheelchair Securement 101.

First Aid, CPR, and AED Training
