Medical Transportation in Union County, NJ

Dependable NEMT Throughout Union County

Union County sits between Essex and Middlesex counties in the heart of northern New Jersey, home to more than 570,000 residents spread across 21 diverse municipalities. The county's landscape ranges from Elizabeth, New Jersey's fourth-largest city and a major port community, to the affluent hilltop communities of Summit and Westfield — each with distinct medical transportation needs. Delta Medical Transportation serves the full breadth of Union County with professional non-emergency medical transport that patients and families can rely on, whether they're heading to a dialysis appointment in Elizabeth, a cancer center visit in Summit, or an outpatient procedure in Rahway.

The county's hospital landscape is anchored by Trinitas Regional Medical Center in Elizabeth, a full-service Catholic health system hospital that is the primary destination for a large portion of our transport volume across Elizabeth, Linden, Roselle, and southern Union County. In Summit, Overlook Medical Center — Atlantic Health System's flagship facility — draws patients from five or more counties for nationally recognized cardiac surgery, comprehensive cancer care, and neuroscience services. JFK University Medical Center in Plainfield, part of the Hackensack Meridian Health network, serves the western portion of the county, while Robert Wood Johnson Rahway Hospital anchors care in the eastern corridor near Linden and Carteret. Delta's drivers know the preferred entrances, parking logistics, and discharge procedures at each of these facilities.

Dialysis patients in Union County face a particular challenge given the county's heavy traffic corridors along Route 22, Route 1&9, and the Garden State Parkway. The three-times-weekly rhythm of dialysis transport demands reliable, punctual service — and Delta delivers exactly that. We assign consistent drivers to recurring dialysis routes so patients see a familiar face at every pickup. Our fleet of wheelchair-accessible vans with hydraulic lifts and our stretcher-capable ambulance units are fully equipped to handle patients of varying mobility levels, from independent ambulatory patients who simply need a safe ride to non-ambulatory patients requiring full lift assistance and securement.

Union County's diversity creates a wide spectrum of NEMT needs. In the urban municipalities of Elizabeth, Plainfield, Hillside, and Roselle, a significant Medicaid population depends on covered non-emergency medical transportation for access to essential healthcare. Delta works with authorized NJ Medicaid transportation brokers and accepts NJ FamilyCare authorizations to ensure cost is never a barrier to care. In the more affluent communities of Summit, Westfield, New Providence, and Berkeley Heights, we serve private-pay patients and Medicare Advantage members who require premium-level service for elderly parents, post-surgical recovery transport, and routine specialist appointments.

Our Totowa headquarters places us within practical driving distance of every Union County municipality. Whether you need a hospital discharge pickup from Overlook Medical Center in Summit, a recurring oncology transport from Cranford to JFK University Medical Center, or same-day wheelchair van service for a resident of a Westfield senior community, Delta Medical Transportation is ready to help around the clock. Every vehicle in our fleet is GPS-tracked, fully insured, climate-controlled, and sanitized between rides so that every patient travels with comfort and dignity.
