What We Provide

Bethlehem Medical Transportation Services

The heart of our work is the recurring medical travel that families find hardest to sustain. We keep standing schedules for dialysis and cancer treatment, provide rides home on hospital discharge, run wheelchair and stretcher transport for those who cannot use an ordinary vehicle, assist ambulatory passengers, and handle physical therapy trips.

Wheelchair Van Transportation

Lift-equipped wheelchair vans with safe securement for passengers traveling to hospitals, clinics, dialysis, and therapy appointments.

Stretcher Transport

Stretcher-capable vehicles for medically stable passengers who must travel lying down to appointments, discharges, or facility transfers.

Ambulatory Assistance

Door-through-door help for passengers who walk with support, use a cane or walker, or need steady assistance at pickup and drop-off.

Dialysis & Cancer Treatment Rides

Fixed weekly schedules built around clinic timing so the same dependable ride and return trip are reserved every session.

Hospital Discharge Transport

Safe rides home after hospital stays, procedures, or rehabilitation, with the right vehicle for each passenger’s needs.

Caregiver Ride-Along

A caregiver, family member, parent, or guardian may ride at no extra cost, giving passengers support throughout the trip.

Local Expertise

The Hospital on the Hill, and the One Across the River

St. Luke's University Hospital–Bethlehem, at 801 Ostrum Street in Fountain Hill, is the main campus of the St. Luke's network and the region's anchor. It is an Adult Level I Trauma Center, home to St. Luke's Children's Hospital, with cardiac, cancer, and neuroscience programs that draw patients from across the Lehigh Valley.

It sits on a hillside in a small borough hemmed in by South Bethlehem, where streets are narrow and parking is tight. On the north side of the city, Lehigh Valley Hospital–Muhlenberg on Schoenersville Road provides a second major destination with its own cancer center and family health pavilion.

Crossing Bethlehem to Get to Care

A city split by a river and a county line means medical trips rarely run in a straight path. Our drivers know the bridge approaches, neighborhoods, and routes that work for wheelchair vans.

Fountain Hill and Muhlenberg Access

The Fountain Hill approach and the Muhlenberg campus are very different, so confirming the entrance and route is part of getting the trip right.

Our Coverage Area

Across Bethlehem and Its Neighboring Towns

We serve all of Bethlehem on both sides of the river, including the historic South Side, the North Side, Fountain Hill, and Bethlehem Township, along with nearby Northampton County and eastern Lehigh County communities. Bethlehem's mix of older neighborhoods and a growing population means patients travel in many directions for care.

Medical Assistance Transportation in Northampton County

Bethlehem sits mostly in Northampton County, and for residents on Medical Assistance, free rides to covered appointments come through LANtaVan, the door-to-door shared-ride service LANTA operates across Northampton and Lehigh Counties. Because it is shared transportation booked ahead of time, it works well for some patients but not for those who need a guaranteed pickup, a specific vehicle, or one-on-one door-through-door attention. Medicare does not pay for routine non-emergency rides, though some Medicare Advantage plans add transportation benefits.

Why Touch of Kindness

Bethlehem Route Knowledge

We know how the city connects across the Lehigh, which approaches work for wheelchair vans, and how to time trips around bridge bottlenecks.

ADA-Compliant Vehicles

Wheelchair-accessible and stretcher-capable vehicles with safe boarding, securement, and attentive passenger assistance.

24/7 Dispatch

We answer day and night, including weekends and holidays, for planned rides, recurring treatment trips, and hospital discharges.
