When a medical appointment can’t wait, you need a ride you can count on within hours, not days. Our same-day and urgent NEMT Sacramento service exists for exactly those moments: a dialysis slot that opened early, a next-morning specialist visit, or a hospital discharge that came sooner than expected. We move patients safely and comfortably, with trained drivers and accessible vehicles ready when the call comes in. Whether someone uses a wheelchair, needs help walking to the car, or has to travel by stretcher, we match the right vehicle and the right level of assistance to each person. No guesswork, no scrambling, just a calm, professional ride to the care they need.
Same-day NEMT is non-emergency medical transportation booked and completed on the same day, used when a patient needs to reach a medical destination quickly but doesn’t require an ambulance. In the Sacramento area, this service covers wheelchair, ambulatory, and stretcher transport for appointments, treatments, admissions, and discharges. Rides are typically arranged by phone for the fastest response, with door-to-door assistance and ADA-accessible vehicles. It’s ideal for dialysis, chemotherapy, therapy sessions, outpatient procedures, and last-minute doctor visits when reliability and timing matter most.
For riders who stay in their wheelchair, we use lift- and ramp-equipped vans that secure the chair safely for the entire trip. Our wheelchair transportation service includes trained assistance getting in and out, so patients never have to manage the process alone.
Patients who can walk with little or no help ride in comfortable, accessible vehicles. Our ambulatory transportation sacramento is a great fit for routine appointments where a patient mainly needs a reliable, supportive door-to-door ride.
Older adults often value patience, a familiar face, and a driver who doesn’t rush. Our senior transportation sacramento pairs that unhurried care with the mobility support seniors need for medical visits and treatments.
For patients who need to remain lying down throughout the journey, stretcher transport provides a stable, secure, and closely attended ride between home, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing facilities, and other medical destinations.
Gurney service supports patients who cannot sit upright, providing safe, comfortable transportation with secure equipment and careful assistance from pickup to drop-off. Our trained staff ensure a smooth and stable journey.
Some care happens outside the immediate area. We provide long-distance medical transportation to facilities beyond Sacramento when specialized treatment requires it.
We serve riders with a wide range of mobility and accessibility needs, matching vehicles and assistance to each individual.
For patients who prefer a private, one-on-one ride, we offer dedicated transportation with focused attention from pickup to arrival.
Trust is earned through consistent, careful service.
We operate with proper licensing and insurance for peace of mind.
Our drivers are prepared for passenger assistance and mobility support.
Regular inspections keep our fleet safe and reliable.

We respect each rider’s comfort, dignity, and privacy throughout the trip.

From equipment checks to careful driving, safety guides every decision we make on the road and at the door.
No confusing surprises. We explain costs clearly upfront so you know what to expect before the ride.
Every accessible vehicle in our fleet meets ADA standards, with lifts, ramps, and securement systems maintained and ready.
Not sure if your situation calls for an urgent ride? These are the scenarios we handle most often.
A cancellation opens up an earlier slot, or a symptom needs same-day attention. We help you take that opening instead of waiting weeks for the next one.
When a physician schedules an admission on short notice, we bring the patient in calmly and on time, with the mobility support they need at the door.
Recovery depends on consistency. We help patients keep every therapy and rehabilitation session, even when a slot gets moved or added at short notice.
Discharge timing is often unpredictable. When the paperwork clears and it’s time to go home, we’re ready. Families who want the smoothest handoff often look for the best transportation services for hospital discharge, and getting a patient home safely
Dialysis runs on a strict rhythm, and missing a session isn’t an option. Our dialysis transport sacramento keeps patients on schedule for recurring treatments, with reliable pickups timed around each session so no one is left waiting before or after.
Cancer treatment is exhausting enough without transportation stress. We provide steady, gentle rides to and from oncology centers so patients can rest instead of worrying about the drive.
Our service is built around the people who rely on it.
Getting a ride shouldn’t be complicated, especially on a stressful day. Here’s how it works.
Call our team with the pickup location, destination, appointment time, and any mobility needs. A quick conversation is usually all it takes.
We confirm the timing, vehicle type, and any special assistance, so everyone knows exactly what to expect.
Once confirmed, we dispatch the right driver and vehicle for your specific needs.
Your driver assists with boarding, secures any mobility equipment, and drives carefully to the destination.
We help patients from the vehicle to the facility door, completing the door-to-door promise every single trip.
We know the destinations because we visit them regularly.
Hundreds of patients and families across Sacramento County have trusted First Med Transit for safe, on-time medical transportation. Here is what some of them had to say.
My mother needs dialysis three times a week and I was constantly worried about getting her there safely. First Med Transit has been a lifesaver. Their driver is always on time, helps her in and out of the vehicle with so much patience, and I no longer dread appointment days.
I needed a wheelchair-accessible ride home after my surgery and First Med Transit made the whole transfer easy. The driver knew exactly how to secure my chair, checked in with me throughout the ride, and got me home safely without any of the stress I was bracing for.
As my dad's caregiver, finding transportation he was comfortable with took months of trial and error. First Med Transit was the first service where he actually relaxed during the ride. The driver talked with him, was in no rush, and treated him with real respect. That matters more than people realize.
I was discharged from the hospital after a long stay and needed gurney transport home since I couldn't sit upright yet. The crew handled the transfer carefully every step of the way and explained what they were doing the whole time. I felt safe instead of anxious, which made a huge difference.
We needed weekly transportation set up for my husband's rehab sessions in Elk Grove and First Med Transit coordinated the whole recurring schedule without us having to call every single week. The drivers are consistent, the vehicles are clean, and we genuinely look forward to seeing the same friendly faces.
I called First Med Transit about my Medi-Cal coverage because I had no idea what was actually included. The team walked me through everything patiently, helped me confirm eligibility, and got my rides booked the same week. It took a huge weight off my shoulders during an already hard time.
I booked a same-day ride for my dad after an urgent specialist appointment came up out of nowhere. First Med Transit had a driver to us within the hour. No scrambling, no excuses, just a calm and capable team that clearly knows how to handle last-minute medical transport.
At 81, I don't drive anymore and my family can't always take me to my appointments. First Med Transit picks me up right at my door, the driver waits until I'm safely seated before pulling off, and they never once made me feel like a burden. That kindness means everything.
