Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) is a transportation service provided to individuals who are not in an emergency situation but need more medical assistance and specialized equipment than other transportation options can provide.
The Unified Government Transportation (UGT) Department and the Health Department partnered via the county’s Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) to provide non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) for Wyandotte Countians to access healthcare appointments within the county. There are seven (7) participating safety-net clinics, and individuals can participate in this program regardless of income, insurance coverage, or immigration status. The pilot program started in August 2022 and continues expanding to meet customer demand.
WyCo Health Link offers:
- ADA compliant rides.
- Ability to install child car and booster seats in UG Transit vehicles.
- Text/phone call reminders in English and Spanish.
- Free transportation to and from the participating safety-net clinics.
Participating clinic locations:
Rides are scheduled for patients through clinic staff at each participating clinic. UG Transit is the primary transportation provider.
