Caring Hands™ was founded by Christian Ejekpokpo, who has more than 15 years of experience in the health services industry. Mr. Ejekpokpo conceived this idea when his own mother, a 93-year old Nigerian immigrant and mother of 11, was at the mercy of unreliable and untimely transportation to her medical appointments. He then learned that many people are in the same position as his own mother ─ they need reliable transportation to and from their non-emergency medical appointments. Once Mr. Ejekpokpo had this realization, he began to work on developing his own non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) business to help solve this problem, fill the gap in medical services, and help people just like his mother.
Caring Hands™ prides itself in providing dependable, accessible, and high quality transportation services to the community. We specialize in NEMT for Medicaid and/or private recipients, the elderly, the disabled, and those of lower incomes. We operate with vans capable of transporting a wide range of clients, including those who utilize wheelchairs.
