Wheelchair, stretcher, ambulatory, senior, hospital discharge, doctor appointment and long-distance medical transportation for Fairfax residents and surrounding Northern Virginia communities.
Medical Transportation for Fairfax Residents Traveling Across a Major Healthcare Network

A passenger may live near Old Town Fairfax, Fair Lakes, Fair Oaks, Route 50 or the George Mason University area while receiving care at Inova Fair Oaks, Inova Fairfax Medical Campus, Innovation Park or another Northern Virginia healthcare destination.
UniqueHands provides pre-arranged wheelchair, stretcher, ambulatory, senior, hospital discharge and long-distance medical transportation for medically stable passengers in Fairfax and surrounding Northern Virginia communities.
“Fairfax” Can Mean Several Different Medical Travel Areas
The Exact Address Matters More Than the Word “Fairfax”
Fairfax is used both for the independent City of Fairfax and for a much larger surrounding area of Fairfax County. Healthcare facilities with Fairfax mailing addresses may be several miles apart and reached through very different traffic corridors.
A passenger near Old Town Fairfax may be close to Main Street and Route 123, while someone near Fair Oaks may be closer to I-66 and Route 50. Another passenger may be traveling toward Gallows Road or Innovation Park for hospital or specialty care.
UniqueHands uses the complete pickup address, exact destination and required arrival time to understand the actual medical trip.

- House, apartment, senior community or facility
- Exact healthcare destination

Match the Transportation Type to the Passenger
Transportation should be based on how the passenger can travel on the day of the trip, along with pickup access, the healthcare destination and any return requirements.
Wheelchair Transportation
Accessible transportation for Fairfax passengers who use a wheelchair and need transportation to physicians, hospitals, rehabilitation, cancer treatment or other scheduled healthcare.
Wheelchair transportation →Stretcher Transportation
Non-emergency stretcher transportation for qualifying medically stable passengers who cannot safely or comfortably complete a medical trip seated.
Stretcher transportation →Doctor Appointment Transportation
Transportation for medically stable passengers who can walk independently or with limited assistance but need pre-arranged transportation to scheduled care.

Long-distance transportation →Medical Transportation Often Becomes Necessary When Something Changes
Medical Trips May Begin in Very Different Parts of Fairfax
Pickup access, road conditions and the nearest healthcare corridor depend on where in Fairfax the passenger actually lives.
Required Arrival Time Matters More Than Mileage Alone
Fairfax medical trips can cross several busy commuter corridors, so planning should account for the actual destination and required arrival time.
Innovation Park Can Mean More Than One Medical Trip
Cancer treatment is one of the clearest examples of why medical transportation may become an ongoing need rather than a single ride.
Treatment at or near Inova Schar Cancer can involve infusion, radiation therapy, laboratory visits, oncology appointments, imaging and follow-up care scheduled across multiple days or weeks.
When the passenger cannot drive, has changing mobility or family members cannot provide every trip, transportation becomes part of maintaining the treatment schedule.
UniqueHands can review recurring private-pay transportation requests based on passenger needs and availability.
For Repeated Trips, Keep Track Of:
- Treatment dates and frequency
- Exact building or department
- Required arrival time
- Passenger's current mobility
- Wheelchair information
- Caregiver travel plans
- Expected appointment duration
- Return transportation arrangement
The Passenger May Need Different Transportation After Care
Someone may arrive at Inova Fair Oaks or another Fairfax medical facility walking independently and leave with temporary mobility limitations. Another passenger may begin using a wheelchair or be discharged to rehabilitation instead of returning directly home.
Before arranging hospital discharge transportation, confirm the passenger's current mobility, the correct discharge entrance, receiving destination and access conditions at the destination.
For procedures involving anesthesia or sedation, patients should ask the medical facility whether a responsible adult or approved escort is required.
Transportation alone does not automatically satisfy a facility's responsible-adult discharge requirement. Exact policies vary by facility.
