Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Gaston, NC
Safe, reliable rides for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Why Choose Us
Gaston is a small Northampton County community where there are no hospitals, dialysis centers, or major medical offices in town. Routine care means driving to Roanoke Rapids — about ten miles north on I-95 — for visits to ECU Health North Hospital, dialysis at DaVita Roanoke Rapids Dialysis, or appointments at Halifax Regional Medical Center. Specialty care can mean traveling ninety miles to ECU Health Medical Center in Greenville or Duke University Hospital in Durham. We provide door-to-door transportation for Gaston residents across Northampton County and beyond — for dialysis sessions, hospital visits, senior programs, and the everyday rides that keep life moving.
Our drivers arrive at your door, help you to the vehicle, and make sure you're settled before heading out. When your appointment is over, they're waiting. In a rural area where the closest hospital is a twenty-minute drive and a specialist could be ninety miles away, a driver who treats you like family isn't just helpful — it's the kind of care we'd want for our own families.

Testimonials
My discharge got delayed by two hours and they adjusted without any hassle. The driver waited patiently and helped me with my bags. That kind of flexibility means everything when you're already having a tough day.
– Patricia D.
I coordinate my grandmother's medical appointments from across the country. The drivers are always professional and I get updates after every ride. It's like having family there when I can't be.
– Gary M.
I've been in a power wheelchair for years and most transport services make me feel like an inconvenience. Not these folks. The driver treated me with dignity and made sure my chair was positioned exactly how I wanted it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a ride?
The quickest way is to call us at 877-369-5457. You can also use the "Book a Ride" button right here on our website. We recommend booking 24-48 hours ahead for most appointments, though same-day availability may be possible depending on vehicle availability in the Gaston and Northampton County area.
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?
We suggest booking 48-72 hours ahead, especially for trips to Greenville or Durham — those are 90-plus miles from Gaston. For recurring needs like dialysis in Roanoke Rapids, we'll set up a standing schedule so your rides are locked in weekly. Same-day rides may be available depending on vehicle availability.
What if I need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle?
Mention it when you book and we'll assign a wheelchair-accessible van to your ride. Our vehicles come with ramps and secure tie-down systems for manual wheelchairs, power wheelchairs, and scooters. Let us know your chair type so we can match you with the right vehicle.
Can a family member or caregiver ride with me?
Absolutely — a companion is welcome on most rides at no additional cost. Just mention it when you book so the driver knows to expect them.

What is NEMT?
NEMT, which stands for Non-Emergency Medical Transportation, provides safe rides to healthcare appointments for people who don't require an ambulance but can't easily get there on their own. It bridges the gap between having no transportation and needing emergency services.
This type of service is built for seniors who've stopped driving, people managing disabilities, and anyone whose health condition makes it hard to travel without help. Vehicles range from wheelchair-accessible vans with ramps and secure tie-downs to stretcher-equipped transport to sedans driven by professionals trained to provide hands-on walking assistance.
Recurring appointments make up most NEMT rides — dialysis multiple times a week, cancer treatments, physical therapy, and regular specialist visits. Single rides after outpatient surgery or a hospital discharge are common too. The purpose is keeping people connected to the care that helps them live healthier and more independently.
Powered by Modern Technology
All of our rides are coordinated through Duet, a purpose-built NEMT software platform. That gives you real-time tracking, consistent scheduling, and a direct line of communication with your driver throughout the trip.
More Than a Ride
Every ride starts with a family trusting us with someone who means everything to them. We don't take that lightly. From the initial call to the walk back through the front door, everything we do is measured against one question: would we feel good about our own loved one in this ride? That's the only standard that matters.
