Who we are
VitalFlow Couriers LLC, based in Charlotte, NC and owned by Nicole and Andre Hodges, offers professional medical courier services. We transport medical specimens, pharmaceuticals, and other healthcare materials with secure, reliable handling and refrigerated components for temperature-sensitive deliveries. Our team follows strict HIPAA and OSHA protocols to protect patient privacy and maintain safe, compliant transport for every shipment.
Nicole Hodges, MBA (Regent University, 2018), brings over two decades of corporate banking and wealth-management expertise to operations and client relations, ensuring precision, fiduciary responsibility, and disciplined process management.
Andre Hodges, B.S. in Mass Communications (Norfolk State University, 2018), brings more than 20 years of teaching experience with Norfolk Public Schools and Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools, combining strong communication and logistics coordination skills that reinforce our commitment to clear, timely service and community focus.
Nicole and Andre built the foundation for their move into medical delivery while working as gig drivers for Uber, Instacart, and Spark. Those platforms exposed them to fast-paced, route-driven work where punctuality, communication, and careful handling of items were daily requirements — skills that translate directly to medical courier services.
Consistent performance metrics
Customer service: Both Nicole and Andre consistently received outstanding marks for professionalism and courtesy from customers who relied on them for sensitive or time‑critical deliveries. Their ratings reflected clear communication, respectful interactions, and a calm demeanor under pressure.
On‑time delivery: They maintained high on‑time delivery rates across thousands of trips and orders. This track record shows they can plan routes effectively, adapt to traffic and scheduling changes, and prioritize time‑sensitive pickups and drop‑offs.
Response times: They averaged fast response times when accepting requests, demonstrating reliability and an ability to rapidly mobilize. Quick acceptances and efficient starts reduced wait times for customers and increased throughput during peak periods.
Relevant operational strengths
Route optimization and time management learned from handling multiple deliveries per shift.
Experience securing and protecting diverse cargo, from grocery orders to fragile packages.
Habit of documenting deliveries and communicating status updates to customers and platform support.
Flexibility to work varied hours, including early mornings and evenings, which aligns with medical logistics needs.
Why did that prepare them for medical supply delivery? Delivering medical supplies elevates the importance of consistency, chain-of-custody awareness, and strict timing. The high ratings Nicole and Andre earned in customer service, punctuality, and responsiveness proved they could meet those expectations. Their gig-driver experience gave them practical skills in navigation, customer communication, and handling time-sensitive, high-stakes deliveries — making them well prepared to branch out and specialize in medical courier work. Our team blends hands-on care with professional standards to deliver:
Secure, temperature-controlled transport for lab specimens, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and other sensitive items
HIPAA-protected handling and documentation
OSHA-compliant safety practices and trained personnel
Fast, reliable pickup and delivery across Charlotte and the greater area

We have a beautiful family of six—four children, two boys and two girls—who bring energy, warmth, and a strong sense of togetherness to our home. Our oldest son recently graduated from Marine Corps boot camp, a milestone that has filled us with pride and admiration for his discipline and commitment. We are originally from Virginia Beach and made the move to Charlotte in 2019. Though we still treasure beach days and coastal memories, Charlotte has grown into more than just a place to live; it’s become our community and the backdrop for many new family traditions.
In our free time we enjoy a mix of city and outdoor activities that suit everyone’s tastes. Uptown Charlotte is a favorite and we often take advantage of area festivals that offer music, food, and family-friendly entertainment. Freedom Park is another family favorite for us to enjoy walks, picnics, and playtime—an easy, relaxing way to spend an afternoon together.
At home, quieter evenings mean board game nights and movie nights, where friendly competition and shared laughter keep us close. We’re sports fans too—GO Panthers and Charlotte FC!—and enjoy cheering on our local teams.
Between the city’s conveniences and the family-oriented activities we’ve built into our routine, Charlotte feels like the right place for our next chapter while our roots and love for the beach remain an important part of who we are.
