What Is Med Connect?

Med Connect is a non-ambulatory transportation company. We provide a much higher level of specialized equipment and vehicles, services and personalized care and attention above and beyond what traditional taxi, limousine or livery services (and now services like Uber and Lyft) are able to provide. We can safely and comfortably transport individuals by stretcher, wheelchair, those who require a walker or cane or those who are mobility-limited in some way. We are especially focused on the physically and mentally challenged - anyone who finds getting "from here to there" difficult and in need of an extra set of caring hands. We are not a "curb-to-curb" but a "door-to-door, arm-in-arm" service, making sure you arrive safely and comfortably. Please see "The Med Connect Difference" for more information and details.
