About Our Hughestown Service
Hughestown is a close-knit borough tucked between Pittston City and Jenkins Township in the heart of Luzerne County. It’s the kind of community where neighbors look out for each other and that’s exactly the spirit Touch of Kindness Transportation brings to every ride. We’re headquartered in West Pittston, just a few minutes away, making Hughestown one of our fastest-response service areas in the entire Wyoming Valley.
When a Hughestown resident needs a wheelchair-accessible van to reach a dialysis appointment at DaVita Wyoming Valley, a discharge ride home from Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, or consistent transport to the Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center for ongoing veteran care we’re the team that handles it. Our vehicles are fully ADA-compliant, our drivers are trained for medically sensitive passengers, and our dispatch runs 24 hours a day without exception.
Hughestown sits in one of the most historically rooted communities in Pennsylvania’s coal region. Many of its residents are seniors who have lived here for decades proud, independent, and deserving of transportation that respects their dignity. Whether a patient uses a power wheelchair, needs stretcher transport after surgery, or simply needs a reliable ride to a specialist appointment without burdening family, we step in with the equipment and the care the situation requires.
We serve Hughestown alongside Pittston, Jenkins Township, Dupont, Duryea, Inkerman, Avoca, and every surrounding Luzerne County community. Call us to schedule a one-time ride or to set up a recurring transport plan we’ll take it from there.
