NEMT Services in Salem City

Salem City holds the remarkable distinction of being the oldest English settlement in New Jersey, founded by Quaker colonists in 1675 on the banks of the Salem River. Today, this historic small city of approximately 5,000 residents serves as the governmental seat of Salem County and is home to Salem Medical Center — the county's sole hospital and a critical institution for all 63,000 Salem County residents. The city's working-class community, which includes a significant African American population and a growing Hispanic community, has high rates of Medicaid enrollment and relies heavily on non-emergency medical transportation to access healthcare. Delta Medical Transportation provides dependable NEMT for Salem City residents who need transport to Salem Medical Center and to larger hospitals in neighboring counties for specialty care.

Salem Medical Center's location within the city makes it the most accessible healthcare destination for Salem City residents, but the hospital's community size means that many specialty services require travel to Camden, Philadelphia, or other regional medical centers. Patients who need cardiothoracic surgery, advanced oncology treatment, or complex neurological care are typically referred to Cooper University Hospital in Camden or to Jefferson Health facilities. Our vehicles make these longer-distance journeys comfortable and safe, accommodating patients in wheelchairs, on stretchers, or ambulatory patients who simply cannot drive themselves due to medical restrictions after procedures.

Salem City's historic street grid includes Salem's distinctive oak tree-lined residential blocks and the Broadway commercial corridor. Our drivers navigate these streets with familiarity, understanding the logistics of picking up patients from rowhouses, apartments, and assisted-living facilities throughout the city. The combination of Salem County's rural character and the city's limited public transit infrastructure makes NEMT especially critical here — for dialysis patients requiring thrice-weekly transport, for cancer patients attending chemotherapy sessions, and for seniors managing chronic conditions who need consistent access to their medical teams. We serve Salem City with the same professional, caring approach we bring to every community in our service network.
