WYCO Health Link Provides Free Transportation to Clinical Services

Published on February 01, 2023

People in Wyandotte County can now get free rides to-and-from medical appointments through the WYCO Health Link program. The program is available for people who live in Wyandotte County and have an appointment at a participating clinic for non-emergency medical services. Individuals can participate in this program regardless of income, insurance coverage or immigration status.

WYCO Health Link began in August 2022. Since the launch, more than 250 rides have been provided to medical appointments across the participating clinics. The goal of the program is to increase access to healthcare for people in Wyandotte County who may have trouble getting to medical appointments due to lack of transportation.
