When someone needs transportation to a medical appointment, they are not simply looking for a ride. They are looking for dependability during an important moment in their life. Whether it is a routine doctor's appointment, dialysis treatment three times a week, chemotherapy, physical rehabilitation, a hospital discharge, or specialized care at one of Massachusetts' leading medical centers, dependable transportation can make the difference between receiving care on time and missing an appointment that affects a person's health.
FedNor Transportation was built around one purpose: to provide safe, dependable, compassionate non emergency medical transportation throughout Framingham, MetroWest, Middlesex County, Greater Boston, and surrounding Massachusetts communities.
Our team understands that every passenger has different mobility needs. Some passengers use manual wheelchairs. Others use large powered wheelchairs. Some walk with a walker or cane. Others require stretcher transportation because they cannot safely remain seated during transport. Every trip deserves careful planning, professional assistance, and genuine compassion.
Transportation should never become another obstacle to receiving healthcare.
What Is Non Emergency Medical Transportation?
Non emergency medical transportation, often called NEMT, helps individuals travel safely to medical appointments when they do not require emergency ambulance services. It is commonly used for:
- Primary care and specialist appointments
- Dialysis treatments
- Chemotherapy, radiation, and infusion appointments
- Hospital discharge transportation
- Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
- Rehabilitation centers and skilled nursing facilities
- Assisted living communities
- Outpatient surgery and imaging (MRI, CT, PET, X ray)
- Cardiology, neurology, orthopedic, and urology appointments
- Catheter changes, wound care, and pain management
- Behavioral health, mental health counseling, and vision or dental specialists
- Follow up appointments after hospitalization
Many people assume transportation is the easiest part of healthcare. For thousands of Massachusetts families, transportation is often the biggest challenge.
Why Reliable Medical Transportation Matters
Missing one appointment can create a chain reaction. A missed dialysis treatment may increase the risk of hospitalization. Missing chemotherapy can interrupt a treatment schedule carefully designed by an oncology team. Missing physical therapy may delay recovery after surgery. Missing follow up care after hospital discharge can increase the chance of readmission.
Reliable transportation helps patients stay connected to their healthcare providers and maintain consistent treatment. Families also gain peace of mind knowing their loved one has dependable transportation.

Wheelchair Transportation Designed Around Safety
Wheelchair transportation is more than having a wheelchair accessible van. Every passenger deserves proper securement, careful boarding, and a comfortable ride. FedNor Transportation provides wheelchair accessible transportation for individuals using manual wheelchairs, transport chairs, bariatric wheelchairs, powered and electric wheelchairs, and mobility scooters.
Many powered wheelchairs weigh several hundred pounds. Our wheelchair accessible vehicles are equipped to safely secure larger mobility devices using professional four point securement systems designed to keep both the passenger and wheelchair stable throughout transportation. Passengers remain safely seated in their own mobility device whenever appropriate, eliminating unnecessary transfers and reducing discomfort.
Transportation for Seniors
Growing older should never mean losing independence. Many seniors no longer drive because of vision changes, mobility limitations, medication side effects, or physician recommendations. Reliable senior transportation allows older adults to continue attending medical appointments, specialist visits, dialysis, outpatient procedures, physical therapy, eye and hearing appointments, family visits, and assisted living activities. Professional transportation also helps reduce stress for caregivers balancing work, family responsibilities, and healthcare coordination.
Stretcher Transportation
Some individuals cannot safely travel while sitting upright. Patients recovering from surgery, experiencing severe weakness, or living with complex medical conditions may require stretcher transportation. Professional stretcher transportation provides a safer option than attempting transportation in a personal vehicle when remaining flat is medically appropriate. Each patient is transported with careful attention to comfort, positioning, and safety throughout the journey.
Hospital Discharge Transportation
Leaving the hospital should be the beginning of recovery. Unfortunately, many patients experience delays because transportation arrangements have not been made. FedNor Transportation helps patients travel safely from hospitals to home, rehabilitation facilities, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and long term care facilities. Our goal is to help make the discharge process smooth, comfortable, and dependable for patients, families, and discharge planners.
