# Accessibility & Equity Resources

## Helping You Get to the Care You Need

### OUR COMMITMENT
At MedHaul, we believe transportation should never stand in the way of good health. That’s why we partner with hospitals, clinics, and community programs to make getting to medical appointments easier and safer for patients who need extra support. Your healthcare provider connects you to our transportation network when it’s part of your care plan, ensuring rides are coordinated around your specific needs and that your health information stays protected.

If your provider isn’t yet partnered with MedHaul, there are still resources available to help you get the care you need. Explore the programs below for immediate transportation support to help you reach your care.
