The Dialysis Transportation Challenge
More than 550,000 people in the U.S. receive hemodialysis, with most patients needing treatment three times a week. For those attending every scheduled session, that can mean around 156 round trips each year. Missing a dialysis session can have serious health consequences and may increase mortality risk by 25–30%, making consistent transportation an important part of ongoing care.
Standard rideshare and paratransit services may not always meet the needs of dialysis patients. Drivers can change from one trip to another, booking times may not account for treatment delays, and many services do not provide assistance after treatment. Following several hours of dialysis, patients may feel weak, dizzy, or nauseated and may need extra support getting home.
Why Dialysis Patients Need Specialized Transport
3x/week schedule:
Dialysis is usually scheduled three days a week, such as Monday-Wednesday-Friday or Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday. Patients need transportation they can count on for each treatment.
Post-treatment fatigue:
After several hours of hemodialysis, patients may feel tired, weak, or unsteady. Driving home may not be practical, especially when additional assistance is needed.
Wheelchair & mobility needs:
Some dialysis patients also have mobility challenges related to diabetes, amputation, or vascular conditions. Wheelchair-accessible transportation can make these regular trips easier.
Tight treatment windows:
Getting dialysis on time matters. A late arrival can reduce treatment time or affect the scheduled session, so dependable transportation is important.
How Medigo Transportation Solves This

Regular dialysis transportation can be scheduled in advance, reducing the need to arrange every trip separately.
Familiar drivers:
When available, consistent driver assignments can help patients become comfortable with their regular transportation routine.
Accessible Vehicles:
ADA-compliant wheelchair vans and appropriate vehicles are available for patients with different mobility needs.
Post-Treatment Assistance:
Drivers allow patients time to get ready after treatment and provide assistance at a comfortable pace when needed.
