Transportation

About our Transportation Services
Yellowhawk Transportation provides rides for eligible Yellowhawk patients to and from medical appointments. The service can be called upon after all means of public and private transportation have been exhausted — including family, friends, and outside brokerage services for Oregon Health Plan participants.
Transportation services were previously offered through our Public Health Department. In 2022 the service moved under our Allied Health Services department, and our transportation services remain the same.
Prioritization is given to higher-medical-needs patients and may be limited by driver availability.
Can I Use Yellowhawk Transportation?
Transportation is available to Yellowhawk patients once other options have been exhausted. If you are unsure whether you qualify, call our scheduling line and we will help you determine your options.
Service Area
Yellowhawk patients residing in Umatilla and Union counties.
Other Options First
Family, friends, and outside brokerage services (for OHP participants) must be exhausted before scheduling a Yellowhawk ride.
