Job Description

At LVHN, the Transportation Courier plays a vital role in the smooth logistical operations that support the overall healthcare delivery system. This position involves transporting a variety of important items such as medical supplies, packages, mail, and medical records to and from hospitals, physicians' offices, community medical centers, suppliers, and other designated locations within and potentially outside the network. Couriers ensure timely and safe delivery by carefully following daily assigned routes and managing transportation requests according to established priorities. This role is essential to maintaining effective communication and operational efficiency across multiple healthcare facilities. The courier also supports the logistics team by providing flexible coverage for routes as needed and cares for the transportation vehicles by performing regular maintenance checks and reporting any required repairs. This career opportunity is well-suited for individuals who enjoy autonomy, have good geographic knowledge of the Lehigh Valley region, and seek to contribute directly to patient care indirectly through their logistical support. Candidates must possess a valid Pennsylvania Driver's License and must be comfortable using smart devices to manage routes and communications efficiently. The job demands physical capability to handle lifting and transporting heavy items and involves frequent standing, walking, and other physical activities throughout the workday.
