Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Mesa, Arizona
Getting to a medical appointment shouldn't depend on finding a ride. The Medical Ride arranges non-emergency transportation for Mesa residents heading to doctor visits, recurring treatment, rehabilitation, and hospital discharge destinations — matched to how each passenger actually travels.
Three vehicle types cover the range of mobility needs: Ambulatory Transportation, Wheelchair Van Transportation, and Stretcher & Gurney Transportation.
What Non-Emergency Medical Transportation Is Available in Mesa?
Passengers in Mesa can arrange non-emergency transportation to any scheduled, confirmed healthcare-related destination. Which vehicle is used — Ambulatory, Wheelchair Van, or Stretcher & Gurney — depends entirely on how the passenger is able to travel, not on the type of appointment.

Not every trip is a single appointment. Mesa passengers managing dialysis, chemotherapy, physical therapy, rehabilitation, or a recurring doctor's schedule can arrange transportation around that ongoing routine instead of submitting a new request each time.
Recurring transportation is arranged and reconfirmed as appointment times, destinations, or mobility needs change — it is not an automatic, indefinite booking.
