Fee for service
The FOCUS Transportation Service offers a fee-for-service to private residents who are needing transportation to and from a medical appointment in the Vermilion and area, as well as to larger city centers. Oftentimes it is difficult to find transportation to appointments in city centers, these challenges compound when considering the challenges of finding parking. FTS offers the peace of mind that you will be dropped off at your appointment in a timely manner and you will be picked up by the same vehicle when your appointment is complete. Fee-for-service offers curbside drop-off to private residences, housing facilities and medical facilities. FTS is committed to non-emergent medical appointment transportation.
Contract services
The FOCUS Transportation Service offers contract and fee-for-service agreements for organizations and facilities that need ongoing transportation of their residents, patients and clients to diagnostic, medical, specialist and follow-up appointments. The FTS service does not replace the need for medical transportation from Ambulance services. Ambulance services are reserved for emergent transport and transport requiring medical treatment while en route to their destination. FTS is a great alternative for medical imaging appointments, follow-up appointments and specialist appointments. Furthermore, FTS can be utilized to return clients to their residences after hospital stays.
Adopt a ride program
The Adopt-a-Ride program is a great way to put back into your community. By donating the cost of a trip to a medical appointment you will be making it possible for persons who otherwise would not be able to afford the cost of getting to their medical appointments. The Adopt-a-Ride program sets aside donated funds for persons from vulnerable sectors, thus ensuring their medical transport needs are met.
