For a person still dealing with mobility, positioning, cognitive, or communication changes, getting to that ongoing care can require more planning than a standard car ride.
Getting home after surgery can require a different setup than getting to the hospital. A rider may need to remain in a wheelchair, travel reclined, avoid a difficult transfer, or bring mobility equipment that does not fit in a standard vehicle.
Hospitals feel this pressure when individuals under care are ready for discharge. To protect every patient’s well-being, they collaborate closely with Tucson non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) providers.
