The West Palm Beach VA Healthcare System (WPBVAHCS) is proud to announce a new transportation partner – VA Uber Health Connect.
VA Uber Health Connect bridges the transportation gap by providing supplemental transportation to eligible Veterans needing access to and from medical care.
“This is a life-altering program that offers our most vulnerable Beneficiary Travel Veterans care — the moment they need it,” said WPBVAHCS Executive Director Cory Price. “It also advances our ability to offer more accessible, equitable health care to our entire Veteran community.”
This initiative will provide a seamless experience: Uber’s HIPAA-compliant ride-sourcing platform allows clinics and VA Medical Centers to book rides directly for patients from a centralized dashboard, while ensuring the security of patient information. Patients can track the ride via text message or phone call.
