Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Conover, NC
Safe, reliable rides for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Why Choose Us
Conover sits right along the I-40 corridor in Catawba County, but the city itself doesn't have a full-service hospital — which means most medical trips take residents west to Hickory or east to Newton. Whether you're heading to Catawba Valley Medical Center for a specialist visit, a dialysis session at Fresenius Kidney Care Catawba Valley, or a checkup at Catawba Valley Family Medicine along US-321, we provide door-to-door transportation that gets you there safely and on time. We also handle rides to Heritage Care and Springs of Catawba for seniors who depend on regular programs, plus everyday trips to the pharmacy, grocery store, and church.
Our drivers know the Hickory-Conover-Newton corridor well, and they understand that for many riders the trip starts before the vehicle even moves. They greet you at your front door, walk alongside you, help you get settled, and make sure you're comfortable for the drive. When you arrive, they walk you to the entrance. It's the kind of care we'd arrange for our own families — and that's exactly the standard we hold ourselves to.

Testimonials
They drove me home after a colonoscopy when my regular ride fell through last minute. Showed up in twenty minutes and got me home safely. Lifesaver is the right word.

My father needs transportation to his support group meetings twice a week. The drivers are discreet and respectful. He says the rides are the easy part of his week now.

I transferred from my wheelchair to a seat for the first time with a transport driver's help. He knew exactly how to assist without overstepping. Professional, safe, and dignified. Truly impressive.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a ride?
Call us directly at 877-369-5457 or hit the "Book a Ride" button on our website. For routine appointments, we recommend reaching out a day or two ahead of time. Same-day rides are sometimes available depending on where you are and what vehicles are nearby.
Do you accept Medicaid, Medicare or other health insurance?
We take credit card or cash payment if you book directly with us. For payment using health plans or 3rd party-payers, you will need to contact these parties directly to secure authorization of the trips and many of them may require you to book directly through them.
How far in advance should I schedule my ride?
We recommend booking at least 24 hours ahead, especially for early-morning dialysis sessions at Fresenius Kidney Care or DaVita in the Hickory area where demand can be high. For recurring appointments, we'll set up a standing schedule so your rides are locked in weekly. Same-day availability depends on vehicle availability near you.
Do your vehicles accommodate wheelchairs?
Yes. We have wheelchair-accessible vans fitted with ramps and secure tie-down systems that handle manual wheelchairs, power chairs, and scooters. Just mention your needs when you book, and we'll make sure the right vehicle is ready for you.
Can a family member ride along?
Absolutely. We welcome a family member or caregiver to come along on any ride, and there's no extra charge in most cases. Just tell us when you're booking so your driver knows to expect an additional passenger.

What is NEMT?
NEMT stands for Non-Emergency Medical Transportation — a dedicated ride service for people who need reliable help getting to medical appointments but aren't in a situation that calls for an ambulance.
It's built for seniors who've stopped driving, people living with disabilities, and anyone whose health condition makes getting behind the wheel difficult or unsafe. NEMT vehicles range from wheelchair-accessible vans with ramps and tie-downs to stretcher transport and standard cars with trained drivers who offer hands-on walking support.
Most rides are for recurring needs — dialysis three times a week, physical therapy, cancer treatments, regular checkups — along with one-time trips like hospital discharges and outpatient surgery pickups. The purpose is straightforward: getting people to the care they need so they can stay healthier and live more independently.
Powered by Modern Technology
Every ride we provide runs through Duet, a trusted NEMT software platform built for medical transportation. The result is accurate scheduling, real-time vehicle tracking, and clear communication between you and your driver throughout the trip.
More Than a Ride
When a family calls to book a ride, they're placing someone they love in our care. We don't take that lightly. Every part of how we operate — from greeting you at the door to making sure you're settled safely at home — comes back to one thing: no one riding with us should ever have to worry about the ride.
