Elevating Health Through Transportation
Personalized & Certified Health Navigators and Drivers
What's MyHealthDrIv?
MyHealthDrīv (pronounced My Health DRIVE) helps participants have an easier time getting healthy by providing: TRANSPORTATION, SOCIAL SUPPORT, and HEALTHCARE NAVIGATION.
Our caring, trained drivers become health partners for the entire duration of each round trip—whether to office visits or other health-related needs. During that time, drivers help MyHealthDrīv participants:
- get to appointments and medications
- pursue their treatment plan
- navigate the healthcare delivery system
Health-related activities can be stressful and overwhelming to anyone at times. Drivers understand what patients are going through. Our drivers give patients a helping hand, making patients' lives a little easier so they can concentrate on getting better.
