Medical Motor Service of Rochester & Monroe County, Inc.

What is today’s Medical Motor Service was first founded by the Public Health Nursing Association during the influenza epidemic. The agency originally relied on volunteer drivers to transport doctors and nurses to area flu victims. The first full-time driver was hired in 1922, and for many years the agency was totally supported by charitable donations, as there was no government aid for specialized transportation. In 1931, the demand for the small agency’s services grew, and it was expanded to serve area hospitals, clinics, and social service agencies. It was at this point that it was formally incorporated as ‘Medical Motor Service’.
