Why We Started ZYLO — A Lehigh Valley Family's Mission

There's a moment a lot of families know but don't talk about enough — the moment you realize someone you love can't get where they need to go.
Maybe it's a parent who needs dialysis three times a week but doesn't drive anymore. Maybe it's a neighbor who uses a wheelchair and can't fit in a standard car. Maybe it's an elderly patient being discharged from a hospital with nowhere to turn because the only options are too expensive, too unreliable, or just not built for them.
That gap is real. And it's why ZYLO exists.
A Family Business Built on a Real Problem
ZYLO Medical Transport was founded by three brothers — Aleem, Caleb, and Malek Mims — right here in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. We're not a national company that parachuted into the Lehigh Valley. We grew up here. This is our community.
We started ZYLO because we saw firsthand how hard it is for people who need wheelchair transportation or senior transportation to find a provider they can actually count on. The options were limited. The service was inconsistent. And the people who needed help the most were falling through the cracks.
So we built something better.
What We Believe
We believe that getting to a doctor's appointment, a dialysis session, or a therapy visit shouldn't be a source of stress. We believe that people who use wheelchairs deserve transportation that's safe, dignified, and reliable — not an afterthought. And we believe that seniors and their families deserve to know that when a driver says they'll be there, they'll be there.
That's not just a mission statement. It's how we operate every single day.
What Makes ZYLO Different
Every vehicle in our fleet is ADA-compliant and equipped with ramps, securement systems, and tie-downs designed specifically for wheelchair users. Our drivers are trained professionals who provide door-through-door assistance — meaning we don't just drop you at the curb. We walk with you.
Every trip is GPS-tracked in real time, so families and facility staff always know where their loved one is. No callbacks. No guesswork. Just peace of mind.
We serve riders heading to medical appointments, dialysis treatments, physical therapy, pharmacy runs, and personal errands throughout the Lehigh Valley and Western New Jersey. Because life doesn't stop at the hospital doors — and neither do we.
Just Getting Started
ZYLO is a young company, and we're proud of that. It means we're hungry, we're focused, and we treat every single rider like they matter — because they do.
If you or someone you love needs wheelchair transportation or senior transportation in the Lehigh Valley PA area or Western New Jersey, we'd love the opportunity to earn your trust.
Give us a call at 484-222-8837, or book online at zylomedicaltransport.com.
We'll be there.
The Mims Brothers
