Memphis,
TN VA Hospital
The van it is owned by the Memphis VA hospital and most of these requirements are set by the hospital.
- At this time the van goes to Memphis VA hospital ONLY and
runs every Tuesday and Thursdays each week unless they fall
on a holiday.
- The veteran must have a scheduled appointment at the Memphis
VA hospital. We ask they try to schedule their appointments
between 0900 and 1200.
- The van leaves according to the first
scheduled riders appointment and will receive a call from
Jim Bynum the day before to let them know what time to be
at the court house.
- Veterans must call as soon as they can to get their name
on the van list and have their information available. Appointment
time, their phone number, last 4 SSN and what clinic they
are going to.
- All of our drivers are volunteers so there are times when
we do not have a driver and may have to cancel. We contact
the Veteran as soon as we find out that we are unable to get
a volunteer driver.
- The volunteer drivers have to go through a class, have a
valid driver’s license, a physical, and have a clean local
background check.
- Veterans only are allowed to ride the van no families. For
special needs veterans ex. wheelchair bound or needs extreme
assistance, a prior approval can be requested through the
Memphis VA transportation department.
