Patient Travel and Lodging: The below listed resource and service contacts are for non-profit programs that work together and will help you find and arrange the transportation or hospitality resources you may need in connection with medical travel.

Links to charitable or special fare flights to research and treatment sites, a nationwide directory of hospital hospitality houses for patients and families, and fee-for-service ambulance services.

This is a great list of resources provided by the national organizations of rare diseases but you don't have to have a rare disease to use these links on the site.
