Learn More →Founded in 2025, Kern County Medical Transport has been providing safe, reliable, and compassionate non-emergency medical transportation services to our community. We understand the challenges faced by individuals with mobility limitations and their families when it comes to accessing medical care.
Our mission is to bridge the transportation gap for those in need, ensuring they can attend medical appointments with dignity, comfort, and peace of mind. All of our drivers undergo rigorous training in patient assistance, safety protocols, and defensive driving techniques.
From 12 years in 911 service, we recognized a strong need for non-emergency transport in Kern County. We created KCMT in order to fill the gap in medical care and planning that is felt by those in need who believe they have no method to seek care. It is our goal that with proper cooperation and integration into the patient care plan, we can make a positive impact on the lives of those needing care. We want everyone to know that they have the resources to seek care and we hope to improve the community by providing ample access to those necessary appointments.
Through growth and consistency, we believe we can solve the problem posed by an overwhelmed medical service system.
Hear from the people we've had the privilege to serve with our transportation services.
"KCMT has been a lifesaver for my weekly dialysis appointments. The drivers are always on time, professional, and so kind. They make what could be a stressful experience much easier."
Patient since 2025
"Transporting my mother to her doctor appointments was always a challenge until we found KCMT. Their wheelchair van is perfect for her needs, and the drivers treat her with such respect."
Patient's Daughter
"As a case manager, I refer many people to KCMT because I know they'll receive reliable, compassionate service. Their communication is excellent, which is very important for our patients."
