Other ways to use Uber

Access to transportation doesn’t have to be limited to discharge and outpatient appointments. You can also use the Uber Health platform to find rides for:

Transfers between sites and hospitals for patients and families
Enabling families to visit their loved ones
Moving caregivers and home health visits
Returning families to their cars if they’ve traveled with the patient to another facility for a transfer
Replacements for existing van services to reduce shared transport
Research and clinical trials
Helping patients get to flu shot clinics or pharmacies

These additional Uber for Business solutions may help address other challenges at your hospital:

Gift cards: Give an Uber gift card for rides or food (Uber Eats) to boost employee morale or help families of patients get to/from the hospital
Employee travel: Support your staff in getting to and from work with a customized travel program, while freeing up parking spots for patients
Uber Eats: Create your meal delivery program for staff, seniors, or recently discharged patients
Vouchers: Subsidize meals or rides for patients or staff by partially paying through Vouchers

As a reminder, Uber is committed to the safety of riders and drivers. Everyone must follow advice from public health authorities, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), that ridesharing should not be used for people diagnosed with COVID-19 or for symptomatic riders who suspect they may have it.
