Ambulette idea a good one. Contact local ambulance service, as the often offer this sort of transport service.

Contact one of the local service groups - Rotary, Lions, etc., and see if they might help.

Contact a local home health care organization or even a local homeless shelter - they might know of free transportation services. Or call the patient ombudsman at the hospital.

Maybe give a general location and put the word out here for a local DUer?
