What We Provide

Moosic Medical Transportation Services

The heart of our work for Moosic families is the recurring medical travel that quietly drains a household's time and energy. We keep standing schedules for dialysis and cancer treatment, provide rides home on hospital discharge, run wheelchair and stretcher transport, assist ambulatory passengers, and handle physical therapy trips.

Wheelchair Van Transportation

Wheelchair-accessible rides with lift-equipped vehicles, secure fastening, and door-through-door passenger assistance.

Stretcher Transport

Stretcher-equipped transportation for passengers who must travel lying down to appointments, discharges, or facility transfers.

Ambulatory Assistance

Support for passengers who walk with help, use a cane or walker, or need a steady arm from the front door to the vehicle.

Dialysis & Cancer Treatment Rides

Standing rides to dialysis and treatment in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, or nearby valley clinics.

Hospital Discharge Transport

Safe rides home after hospital stays, procedures, or rehabilitation from either direction in the valley.

Caregiver Ride-Along

A caregiver or family member is always welcome to ride along at no extra charge.

Local Expertise

Care in Two Directions

Moosic's location gives residents an unusual choice: care to the north in Scranton or to the south near Wilkes-Barre, and we drive in both directions every day. To the north sits Geisinger Community Medical Center on Mulberry Street in Scranton, Lackawanna County's only Level II trauma center and most complete hospital.

To the south is Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center near Wilkes-Barre, with its Pearsall Heart Hospital and Henry Cancer Center. Between and around them lie dialysis centers, imaging sites, and specialist offices of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area, including nearby Old Forge and Taylor.

A Borough Built Around the Highways

Moosic grew up around Interstate 81 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. We use those corridors like locals do, timing trips around commuter traffic and event backups.

I-81 Timing and Access

Appointments often involve I-81 or connecting highways, where commuter traffic and events at PNC Field or Montage Mountain can slow a trip. We plan pickups with the time of day in mind.

Our Coverage Area

Serving Moosic and the Nearby Communities

We serve Moosic and the communities clustered around it along the valley, including the stretch north into Scranton and south toward Wilkes-Barre. The same central location that makes Moosic a regional crossroads lets us reach appointments quickly in either direction.

Medical Assistance Transportation in Lackawanna County

Moosic sits in Lackawanna County, where free rides to covered appointments for Medical Assistance recipients are provided through the Medical Assistance Transportation Program run by COLTS, the County of Lackawanna Transit System. COLTS offers lift-equipped shared-ride service, but its drivers are not permitted to enter homes or buildings to help passengers, and shared trips are grouped rather than scheduled to a guaranteed time. Our private-pay service provides door-through-door assistance, a dedicated vehicle, and the scheduling precision many passengers need.

Why Touch of Kindness

North or south, we get Moosic passengers to the right care

Corridor Route Knowledge

We know the I-81 corridor, local on-ramps, commuter traffic, and how Moosic connects to both hospital cities.

ADA-Compliant Vehicles

Wheelchair-accessible and stretcher-equipped vehicles with secure fastening and careful passenger assistance.

Available 24/7

We answer day and night, including weekends and holidays, for recurring care, discharges, and urgent scheduling needs.

Common Questions

Questions Moosic Riders Ask

Choosing between the Scranton and Wilkes-Barre hospitals

Moosic residents often travel to either Geisinger Community Medical Center in Scranton or Geisinger Wyoming Valley near Wilkes-Barre. We drive to both and confirm the right hospital and entrance when you book.

Getting around the I-81 corridor traffic

Appointments often involve Interstate 81 or connecting highways, where commuter traffic and events at PNC Field or Montage Mountain can slow a trip. We plan pickups with the time of day in mind.

Help the COLTS shared-ride service does not provide

COLTS covers many Moosic trips, but drivers cannot enter a home to assist and shared schedules do not guarantee a set arrival time. Our service fills that gap with door-through-door help and a dedicated vehicle.

Standing rides for dialysis and ongoing treatment

For Moosic patients traveling several times a week to dialysis or cancer treatment in either Scranton or Wilkes-Barre, we set a fixed weekly schedule built around the clinic's timing.

Can a family member or caregiver ride along?

Yes. A caregiver or family member is always welcome to ride along at no extra charge.

Do you provide wheelchair, stretcher, and ambulatory rides?

Yes. We provide wheelchair-accessible, stretcher-equipped, and assisted ambulatory rides throughout Moosic and nearby valley communities.
