Winter Wagon proudly offers Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) services to residents of Greeley, Colorado. Our mission is to provide safe, reliable, and accessible transportation for individuals who need assistance traveling to medical appointments, treatments, and other healthcare-related destinations.
What is NEMT?
NEMT services are designed for patients who require transportation to medical appointments but do not need emergency care. These services are vital for individuals who face mobility challenges, lack access to reliable transportation, or are elderly. By offering door-to-door service, NEMT helps ensure that patients can focus on their health without worrying about how they will get to their appointments.
Benefits of NEMT Services:
- Increased Accessibility: Provides transportation for individuals with disabilities or mobility issues.
- Reduced Stress: Eliminates the burden of arranging transportation for caregivers and family members.
- Improved Health Outcomes: Ensures consistent attendance at medical appointments and treatments.
