Out of County Medical Transportation
The Geauga County Department on Aging’s Out of County Medical Trans-portation Program offers rides for Geauga County seniors 60 and over to their “out of county” medical appointments in Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Lake, Portage or Trumbull counties. The program runs Monday through Friday and has wheelchair accessible vehicles, if needed.
The program provides safe, reliable transportation to and from out of county medical appointments. Rides are offered to seniors on a first-come, first-serve basis and should be scheduled at least two to four weeks in advance, if possible. While there is no charge for this service, donations are greatly appreciated.
