Our Story
MedHaul was founded in the heart of the Memphis Medical District in Memphis, TN. Our Founder, Erica Plybeah faced the difficult reality of not being able to secure reliable transportation to critical medical appointments for her grandmother, a Type-2 Diabetic with double leg amputation.
Unfortunately, Memphis, like many other cities, is saturated with impoverished and oftentimes overlooked communities. Many families are forced to go without medical care because there are no transportation options available for them in the neighborhoods where they reside. For Erica, missing critical medical appointments was not an option she would consider for her grandmother and so the search began to find a solution. When after extensive research, reliable non-emergency transportation could not be located, Erica was inspired to build a solution herself and thus MedHaul was born.
Today, MedHaul is a transportation solution with a mission to provide every person - in every community, a safe, cost-effective and reliable option for non-emergency transportation. We partner with healthcare facilities, research facilities, community organizations and more in order to fulfill this mission.
