Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Fort Worth, Texas
Nurse-owned, wheelchair-accessible non-emergency medical transportation throughout Fort Worth and Tarrant County — from downtown and the Near Southside medical district to Alliance, the TCU/west side and east Fort Worth. Appointments, dialysis, oncology, hospital discharge and airport trips, dispatched locally 24/7. Call, text dispatch, or request a ride online.
Wheelchair Transportation in Fort Worth
Presence NEMT runs ramp- and lift-equipped vans throughout Fort Worth and Tarrant County every day, from the medical district near Near Southside to homes east of downtown and out along the Alliance corridor in North Fort Worth. Our drivers are trained to secure standard wheelchairs, power chairs, scooters and bariatric equipment properly for every trip, not just strap something down and go.
A lot of what makes wheelchair transportation work well is what happens before the van door closes: a level approach to the curb, enough time to navigate a porch or an apartment hallway, and a driver who isn't rushing. We build that time into the schedule rather than treating a mobility device as an afterthought.
Families in neighborhoods like the TCU/west side, east Fort Worth and Alliance frequently use us for recurring wheelchair rides to specialists downtown or in the medical district, while facilities near Loop 820 rely on us for scheduled resident transportation. Learn more on our dedicated page about wheelchair transportation across DFW.

Senior & Elderly Transportation in Fort Worth
Older adults in Fort Worth — whether in a single-family home near TCU, a senior community in west Fort Worth, or an independent living building downtown — often need more than a ride. They need someone to walk them to the door, wait through an appointment, and get them safely back inside afterward. That door-through-door approach is standard on every Presence trip, not an upgrade.
We regularly serve Fort Worth's assisted living, memory care and independent living communities, coordinating directly with front-desk and nursing staff so a resident's morning is not disrupted by a driver who doesn't know the building. Many families set up standing rides for a parent's weekly appointments so the same driver relationship carries from visit to visit.
If you're arranging care for a parent from out of state, our dispatch team can confirm pickup and arrival with you directly by phone or text, so you're not left wondering whether the appointment happened.
Hospital Discharge Transportation
Fort Worth's hospital campuses discharge patients on their own timeline, and that timeline rarely matches a family member's work schedule. We coordinate directly with discharge planners and case managers so a wheelchair-accessible van is waiting when the paperwork clears, whether the patient is going home to North Fort Worth, to a rehab facility near Loop 820, or somewhere else across Tarrant County.
Discharge trips often involve more than just a ride: oxygen tanks, IV poles, walkers, or a patient who is unsteady after days in a hospital bed. Our drivers are trained to handle that transition carefully, and we can bring along a CNA or MA escort when a family requests one.
Case managers and discharge planners can set up a facility account with us for recurring or high-volume discharge needs — see our page for healthcare professionals for details on how that works.
Dialysis Transportation
Dialysis patients across Fort Worth need a driver who shows up at the same time, three times a week, without fail. We set up standing recurring schedules so a patient near the Near Southside medical district, in east Fort Worth, or out toward Alliance has the same pickup window every treatment day, with the same level of familiarity from trip to trip.
Missing a dialysis appointment is not a minor inconvenience, so our dispatch team treats standing dialysis rides as a priority booking, with backup drivers ready if a primary driver's schedule changes.
Oncology & Infusion Transportation
Chemotherapy and infusion appointments can leave a patient too fatigued or nauseated to drive themselves home, and Fort Worth families often need a reliable ride for a series of treatments stretched over weeks or months. We provide that continuity, with drivers who understand that an oncology patient may need extra time getting in and out of the van on treatment days.
We serve infusion and oncology centers throughout Fort Worth and the surrounding medical district, and we coordinate both the trip to treatment and the return trip home, including a wait if the appointment runs long.
Medical Appointment Transportation
Not every trip is a recurring treatment — many Fort Worth families call us for a single specialist visit, an imaging appointment, or a post-operative follow-up. We handle these one-off medical appointment trips with the same reliability as standing schedules, confirming pickup time and destination in advance.
Whether the appointment is downtown, in the medical district, near TCU, or across town in east Fort Worth, we plan the route around real Fort Worth traffic patterns — I-35W, I-30, the Chisholm Trail Parkway and Loop 820 — rather than an optimistic map estimate.
- Specialist and physician office visits across Fort Worth
- Imaging, lab work and pre-operative appointments
- Post-surgical follow-up visits with wait-and-return service
- Same-day and next-day requests when a driver is available
Surgery & Procedure Transportation
Same-day surgery and outpatient procedures come with restrictions most rideshare drivers aren't set up to accommodate — patients can't drive themselves home after sedation, and many need an arm to lean on getting from a surgery center's recovery area to the curb. Presence NEMT provides both the drop-off before a procedure and the return trip afterward, timed around actual discharge instructions rather than a guessed pickup window.
We coordinate with surgery centers and hospital outpatient departments across Fort Worth so a driver is on standby when recovery staff clear a patient to leave, and we can wait on-site if a procedure runs longer than expected.
Airport Transportation
Wheelchair-accessible airport transportation is one of our most requested Fort Worth trips, whether that's a senior flying out for treatment elsewhere, a family member arriving who needs a mobility-assisted ride home, or a patient being discharged and flying to family out of state. We serve both DFW International Airport and Dallas Love Field with ramp-equipped vans.
Airport trips from Fort Worth involve enough drive time that timing matters — we build in buffer for I-30 and DFW-area traffic so a wheelchair passenger isn't rushed through curbside pickup.
Long-Distance Medical Transportation
Some Fort Worth patients need transportation well beyond the DFW metroplex — a transfer to a specialty hospital in another Texas city, a move to be closer to family, or a return trip from a facility outside our normal service area. We provide long-distance non-emergency medical transportation for these situations, with the same wheelchair-accessible equipment and trained drivers used on local trips.
These trips are planned in advance with rest stops and timing worked out ahead of departure, particularly for patients with mobility equipment or medical needs that require monitoring along the way.
Transportation for Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities
Fort Worth hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities and rehabilitation centers rely on Presence for scheduled and same-day patient transportation. We work directly with discharge planners, social workers and facility transportation coordinators to set up accounts, standing schedules and billing arrangements that fit how a facility operates.
Because we're a nurse-owned NEMT provider, HIPAA-conscious and ADA-accommodating, facilities across Tarrant County can rely on one provider for ambulatory, wheelchair, power chair and bariatric transportation needs rather than juggling multiple vendors.
