Nurses who understand the day

Two nurses.
One standard of care.

Meshach and Rita Aneke saw patients leave the discharge bay without a plan for the ride home. They founded Merit Care to make transportation part of the care plan, with patience, attention, and respect.

Their experience spans veterans’ care, hospital care, behavioral health, and patient companion work.
