Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Swoyersville, PA
The hardest part of a medical appointment is sometimes just getting out the front door. Touch of Kindness Transportation provides non-emergency medical transportation for Swoyersville and the surrounding Wyoming Valley boroughs, carrying seniors, people with disabilities, and anyone who can no longer drive to care in wheelchair-accessible, stretcher-equipped, and assisted vehicles, day or night.
(570) 301-2532What We Provide
Swoyersville Medical Transportation Services
The core of our work for Swoyersville families is the recurring, high-need travel that wears people down to arrange alone. 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
Fixed weekly rides to dialysis and treatment, including trips to the Henry Cancer Center and nearby clinics.
Hospital Discharge Transport
Safe rides home from hospital stays, procedures, or rehab with the right vehicle for each passenger’s mobility needs.
Caregiver Ride-Along
A caregiver or family member is always welcome to ride along at no extra charge.
Local Expertise
Where Swoyersville Residents Go for Care
Because the borough has no hospital, almost every medical trip from Swoyersville heads to the surrounding Wyoming Valley facilities. The main destination is Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center at 1000 East Mountain Boulevard near Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County's largest hospital and a Level II trauma center.
Beyond it lie the medical offices, dialysis centers, imaging sites, and specialist practices spread across Kingston, Wilkes-Barre, and nearby boroughs. We carry Swoyersville passengers to all of them, handling the short hop to a Kingston clinic or the longer run to a specialist with the same door-through-door care.

A Small-Town Ride With Door-Through-Door Help
We treat a trip from a Swoyersville doorstep the way a good neighbor would: with patience, a steady arm, and a vehicle suited to the passenger.
Geisinger Wyoming Valley Access
The right entrance depends on the appointment, so we confirm it when you book and drop passengers at the correct door rather than across a sprawling campus.
Our Coverage Area
Serving Swoyersville and the Neighboring Boroughs
We serve Swoyersville and the cluster of Wyoming Valley communities around it, along with trips across the river into Wilkes-Barre and Plains where most of the area's hospital care sits. These boroughs run together along the valley, and knowing how they connect helps keep trips short and on time.
Wyoming Valley Service Areas
Medical Assistance Transportation in Luzerne County
Swoyersville sits in Luzerne County, where free rides to covered appointments for Medical Assistance recipients are provided through LCTA Shared Ride, the Luzerne County Transportation Authority's Medical Assistance Transportation Program. It is useful, but it is curb-to-curb: drivers cannot help a passenger inside the home or take a wheelchair up or down multiple steps, and out-of-county trips must be booked two weeks ahead. Our private-pay service covers what shared-ride cannot, with door-through-door help, scheduling flexibility, and a dedicated vehicle.

Common Questions
Questions Swoyersville Riders Ask
Getting to Geisinger Wyoming Valley from Swoyersville
Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center sits across the river near Wilkes-Barre at 1000 East Mountain Boulevard, with separate East and West entrances plus entrances for the emergency room, Pearsall Heart Hospital, and Henry Cancer Center. We confirm the correct door when you book.
Help that LCTA shared-ride does not offer
LCTA shared rides work for many trips, but curb-to-curb service means the driver cannot help a passenger down front steps or into the building, and out-of-county appointments need two weeks' notice. Our service provides door-through-door help and scheduling flexibility.
Rides for older residents living alone in the borough
Many Swoyersville passengers are seniors who have lived in the borough for decades and no longer have family close by. We provide the full trip and assistance at both ends, from the front door to the hospital and back home.
Standing trips for dialysis and ongoing treatment
For patients traveling several times a week to dialysis or to the Henry Cancer Center, we set a fixed weekly schedule built around the clinic's timing.
Can a family member or caregiver ride along?
Yes. Any available family member or caregiver is welcome to come along at no charge.
Do you provide wheelchair, stretcher, and ambulatory rides?
Yes. We provide wheelchair-accessible, stretcher-equipped, and assisted ambulatory rides throughout Swoyersville and the surrounding Wyoming Valley boroughs.
