Radiation therapy requires daily Monday–Friday appointments for weeks at a time — 20 to 40 sessions depending on the treatment protocol. Each visit is relatively short (15–30 minutes), but the cumulative fatigue builds over the course of treatment. Missing sessions disrupts the treatment plan and can reduce effectiveness. DachiPlus provides standing-order daily transportation to all major radiation oncology centers on Long Island, with awareness of cumulative fatigue, punctuality requirements, and the emotional weight of a daily cancer treatment routine. Medicaid covers radiation transportation; Medicare Advantage typically includes it as well.

For patients in East Hills, DachiPlus provides dependable radiation transport. From East Hills, that usually means trips to Perlmutter Cancer Center (NYU Langone–Long Island), NY Cancer & Blood Specialists (Great Neck) and Northwell Monter Cancer Center, roughly 11 minutes away. Covered by Medicaid through MAS, or pay privately at (516) 754-7777.

In East Hills, radiation transport most often serves head and neck cancer patients undergoing combined chemo-radiation and patients receiving stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) or IMRT. Every trip includes daily standing-order scheduling for the full treatment course.
