Description: Non-Emergency medical transportation (NMET) is the service of transportation for individuals who are in need of tailored non-emergency transportation due to medical, mental or physical impairments. Per our experience and our extensive research within the industry of (NEMT); issues the extreme need for these services nationwide. The lack of professional NEMT competitors has left the field practically unexplored and open for evolution alongside innovation from an organization like Helping Hands that can respond to an urgent high demand transportation need for many individuals seeking local to long travel distances, sometimes across county lines, to regional medical facilities where treatments are provided in order to treat patients with general to chronic medical conditions. These individuals include • Persons with behavioral health and mental health concerns • Dialysis patients • Frail seniors at risk of institutionalization aka (board and home Care) • Seniors in geographically isolated housing developments in their county not served by a county Transit Agency or other County transit providers • The senior “baby boomers” population growth " People with physical disabilities and impalements that require wheelchair and gurney non-emergency medical transportation. • VA population including Veterans who do not have service-related transportation when served by medical facilities • Workers Compensation and Medi-Cal case by case quantity contracts. **Financial Competition** The market need for NEMT does not pose difficulty in competitor factors as many competitors struggle with keeping up with the demand and safety of patients due to neglect/lack of innovation. However the market is quickly growing and fast paced which is why the necessity of positive investment for scalability within our company is crucial. We continue to target a wide range of retirement homes, assisted living, nursing, convalescent homes; insurance groups, private insurance companies; activist groups such as the VA, Senior’s Clubs, community outreach programs as well as city/ county councils, case workers and local hospitals as we are currently servicing (Riverside, Orange and Los Angeles County) We see a beneficial and profitable opportunity for our company as well as an excellent investment opportunity for investor(s) whos investment goals are to enter a high in demand growing industry that offers scalability at a nationwide level.
