Medical Transportation and Recurring Treatment Rides
Island residents arranging healthcare travel now have additional options for dialysis transportation, appointments for chronic conditions, pediatric visits, dental appointments and hospital trips. Families and healthcare organizations can also inquire about recurring arrangements for passengers attending regular treatment or follow-up visits.
