What is MedTran
MEDTRAN is a premiere non-emergency medical transportation program for Peninsula seniors who have no existing resources or alternatives. Its distinctiveness lies in the fact that seniors are transported solely by a team of caring and dedicated volunteers. The MEDTRAN service is the preferred mode of transportation by seniors as our volunteers provide a personalized, door-to-door service in their own vehicles. MEDTRAN provides a safe and reliable access to non-emergency medical care for seniors 60 and over.
Service is provided in the cities of Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson, and York County Monday through Friday.
