If you can walk independently or with appropriate assistance but need dependable transportation to a medical appointment, ambulatory transportation can help you get to and from your scheduled healthcare visit. It may be useful for doctor appointments, therapy sessions, rehabilitation, follow-up visits, and other non-emergency healthcare trips when driving yourself or finding a ride is not practical. Individuals in Arlington and other Northern Virginia communities may use the service for a single appointment or recurring transportation needs.
How It Works
You travel seated in a standard transportation setting suited to your ability to walk and enter or exit the vehicle.
- You walk into and out of the vehicle independently or with appropriate assistance.
- You remain seated throughout the trip to your healthcare destination.
- Assistance with boarding and exiting may be provided based on your mobility needs.
What to Expect
To arrange a ride, you or someone assisting you can contact the office with your pickup location, healthcare destination, appointment information, and transportation needs. Once the trip is scheduled, transportation is arranged for the requested date and time, and you are picked up at the designated location. If you need a ride home after your appointment, return transportation can also be arranged.
