WHY WE STARTED ARROW TRANSPORT 4U
In 2015 Anna's mother, Kathleen, had a major stroke and they took care of her in their home. She needed full care which included wheelchair transport. "We were blessed to have the Rhinelander Cab but they are busy and it was necessary to schedule 24 hour in advance for a ride. We missed numerous medical appointments due to the lack of wheelchair transportation." It was then that Anna and John purchased a wheelchair van of their own. "We took mom wherever she wanted to go, without limits! Such an amazing blessing."
In 2018 Anna's mother passed. Anna started working for a managed care organization and realized that the lack of transportation was a serious problem in the rural communities of Wisconsin's Northwoods.
They put together all the money they had and bought a commercial wheelchair van. Arrow Transport 4U was born!!
WHERE WE ARE NOW
We have 2 ambulatory vehicles and 2 wheelchair vans. Each of our drivers are chosen carefully with high standards of safety.
