Our hydraulic wheelchair lifts and trained attendants support loading and securement. Tell us about your chair and appointment when booking so we can plan the ride around your needs.
Our EMT-trained drivers follow transport protocols consistent with Arizona Department of Health Services licensing requirements for non-emergency medical transport. Trips are scheduled for patients who need assistance getting to care without an emergency response.
Mesa Medical Transport provides wheelchair transportation throughout Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Apache Junction, and the greater East Valley.
Non-emergency medical transport, or NEMT, is scheduled transportation for patients who need assistance but do not require an ambulance or emergency response. Wheelchair transportation combines an accessible vehicle with attendants trained to help with loading and securement.
The service connects home, hospitals, treatment centers, and clinics. It supports trips for dialysis, chemotherapy, physical therapy, and follow-up care when a standard taxi or rideshare vehicle cannot accommodate the rider and mobility equipment.
Mesa has more than 504,000 residents, including seniors and people managing mobility limitations. Dedicated medical transport helps patients plan those essential trips without relying solely on a relative or public transit schedule.
The right vehicle and assistance make the trip easier to organize for both the rider and the person arranging care. Our wheelchair transportation includes practical support from pickup through arrival.
Different appointments call for different trip planning. We arrange accessible transportation around treatment schedules, discharge timing, and the level of assistance each rider needs.
Manual and power wheelchair users can book pickup for medical care without depending on a standard passenger vehicle. Hydraulic lifts help with boarding, and attendants check the chair and rider securement before travel.

Our purpose-built wheelchair vans meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards for ramp slope, interior clearance, and securement anchor points. Most accommodate chairs up to 34 inches wide, including many power and bariatric models; share your chair dimensions before booking.
Patients who cannot sit upright may need recumbent transportation. Our stretcher vans carry medical-grade cots for lying-flat travel, including hospital discharge and post-surgical trips when that transport position is needed.
Bariatric vehicles use reinforced equipment designed for higher weight capacities, with heavy-duty wheelchairs and stretchers supporting patients weighing up to 850 pounds. Share the rider and equipment requirements in advance so the appropriate setup can be arranged.
Ambulatory transportation is another option when a wheelchair or stretcher ride is not needed. Describe the assistance required when booking, along with the destination and appointment time, so the trip can be planned appropriately.
A single appointment and a continuing treatment schedule need different arrangements. Book ahead to plan vehicle and attendant availability, and let us know when clinic timing changes.
Tell us whether the rider uses a wheelchair, needs to lie flat, or requires help transferring. Chair dimensions, patient handling needs, and the appointment schedule guide the choice of vehicle and assistance.
Drivers train in wheelchair loading mechanics, patient securement, defensive driving, and basic first aid. That preparation supports the practical assistance patients need when boarding and traveling to care.

Dialysis can leave patients tired, with cramping or low blood pressure after treatment. Our attendants allow a slower pace, offer additional transfer support, and watch for signs of distress during the return ride.
Hospital release times depend on the care team and the patient being ready to leave. We coordinate pickup with discharge planners and case managers so transportation can be organized around that timing.
Pain, fresh incisions, or difficulty sitting upright can complicate the trip home. Discuss positioning and transfer needs before pickup so wheelchair or stretcher transportation can be considered with the discharge team.
