Wheelchair
 

I need to get to Shands University in Gainesville. Does anyone know of transportation to get back and forth. Thank you.

Any special needs?
Look for van services that run to the airports etc and see which ones service Gainesville. You maybe able to get a ride.

I think you better list your physical limitations if any that affect the type of transportation. Also time frame, when do you want to arrive and leave and how flexible can you be.

I would call the hospital and see if they have any suggestions. Might try your insurance company.

Call your church office. They probably have members who would volunteer to drive you.

Our friends had to be transported by ambulance to the hospital at Gainesville. I don't know of any transportation service that has a route to Gainesville. Sometimes there are private citizens that hire out for those kinds of services.

Check your classified adds. I found these two adds in an Ocala paper so do not know if they will work.

Not cheap, but as a last resort:

Florida Medical Transportation Service - Eagle Transport

eagle is not cheap but if you want/need attentive door to door transport they are top notch.i use them when i need to go by wheelchair, and/or beyond golf cart trails.
