Free Transportation to the VA Medical Center – Sioux Falls

County Veterans can ride a DAV Transportation Van to the Sioux Falls VA Medical Center for scheduled appointments.  Certain guidelines and rules apply.  The van is staffed by a network of volunteer drivers.  You must contact the office well in advance to reserve a seat and ride to the VA medical center.  There may be times the van is full or a driver is unavailable.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer driver or wish to know more about transportation services to the medical center, contact the office.
