Uber Health Ride for Patients: Because Transportation Shouldn’t Be a Barrier to Your Health

“Early patient and community engagement creates trust where people feel heard and valued. How Town Square Health is listening before launch.”

by

At Town Square Health, we believe that great patient care starts long before you walk through our doors. It starts with actually being able to get to your appointment.

For too many patients, transportation is the invisible barrier standing between them and the care they need. A missed bus. A car that won’t start. A family member who can’t take time off work to drive you. These are everyday obstacles — but when they stand between you and a doctor’s visit, the consequences can be anything but small.

That’s why we’re proud to offer complimentary rides to and from your appointments, powered by Uber Health.

How to Access Your Uber Health Ride with Town Square Health

Scheduling a ride to your appointment is simple:

  1. Book your appointment with your Town Square Health care team by calling 585-440-6045.
  2. Let us know you’d like a ride. Our Care Navigators will arrange transportation for you when you schedule your visit, or anytime beforehand.
  3. We handle the rest. Using Uber Health, we’ll schedule a ride timed to get you to your appointment comfortably and on time — no app, smartphone, payment, or Uber account required on your end.
  4. We’ll do the same for your ride home, so you’re never left figuring out how to get back after your visit.

Rides can be arranged for the patient, and in many cases for a caregiver or family member accompanying them, so you don’t have to face your appointment alone if you don’t want to.

Why We Partner with Uber Health

Missing a doctor’s appointment doesn’t just mean rescheduling — it can mean a delayed diagnosis, a lapse in managing a chronic condition, or a small issue becoming a bigger one. Transportation gaps disproportionately affect older adults, people managing multiple health conditions, and anyone juggling limited time, money, or mobility.

We hear it often from our patients: “I wanted to come in, I just couldn’t find a way to get there.”

We don’t think that should ever be the reason someone delays care. Your health doesn’t wait for a ride to show up, and neither should you.

Care Without the Obstacle Course

Providing complimentary Uber Health rides is a small piece of a bigger commitment we’ve made: making sure logistics never get in the way of your health. Whether it’s coordinating your appointments, following up between visits, or now, getting you safely to and from our office, we want the experience of receiving care to feel supported at every step — not like something you have to fight for.

If transportation has ever kept you from scheduling a visit, rescheduled an appointment, or made you think twice about coming in, we want to change that starting today.
