KFO does not provide transportation, but can provide assistance to defray the cost of transportation through our transportation reimbursement program.  Patients who are approved for this program will receive a check twice a year to help with some of the expenses incurred by transportation to and from dialysis and transplant appointments.  One time emergency transportation resources may also be available in the form of emergency gas cards or a cab ride, but those resources are limited and must be requested by a social worker or healthcare professional.
