Crown Care NEMT provides private pay, door-to-door medical transportation throughout Durham and the Research Triangle region of North Carolina.

Whether you need transport to a post-surgical follow-up at Duke, a chemotherapy session at the Duke Cancer Institute on Erwin Road, or a long-distance transfer from another state for specialty care, Crown Care gets you there safely and on schedule.

Interstate medical transport to and from Durham — bringing patients to Duke from anywhere in the US.
Durham sits at the heart of North Carolina's Research Triangle, a region known globally for its concentration of academic institutions and cutting-edge medical research. Duke University Hospital anchors the city's healthcare landscape, consistently ranking among the top 10 hospitals in the country for cardiology, oncology, neurology, and ophthalmology. The Duke Cancer Institute draws patients from across the Southeast and beyond for clinical trials and advanced treatment protocols that are unavailable elsewhere.
For patients traveling to Duke from other parts of North Carolina or from out of state, the logistics of medical transportation can be overwhelming. Many arrive at Raleigh-Durham International Airport needing wheelchair-accessible transport. Others are local residents in neighborhoods like Hope Valley, Woodcroft, Southpoint, or North Durham who need recurring rides to dialysis centers, radiation therapy appointments, or post-operative checkups scattered across the metro.
Crown Care eliminates the guesswork with private pay medical transportation built for patients, not insurance companies. You submit your ride details online in under 3 minutes or call us directly, and a real coordinator assigned to the Durham-Triangle area calls you back with a personalized quote. No Medicaid paperwork. No broker middlemen. No surprise fees. We match the right vehicle to every patient — a luxury sedan for ambulatory Duke clinic visits, a wheelchair van with a hydraulic lift for patients with mobility challenges, or a stretcher vehicle for hospital discharges.
We also coordinate transport between Duke and UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill, WakeMed in Raleigh, and other Triangle-area facilities. For families managing a loved one's multi-appointment treatment plan at Duke Cancer Institute, we set up standing schedules so the same reliable driver arrives at the same time for every session.
Our drivers arrive 10-15 minutes early. If I-40 or Durham Freeway traffic causes any delay, our Triangle dispatch contacts you proactively — you never have to wonder where your ride is.
Every driver serving Durham is background-checked, fully insured, and trained in passenger assistance and HIPAA-aware communication.
Your medical information stays between you, your coordinator, and your driver. No broker networks, no data sharing, no third-party access.
