Transportation from DC to NYC for surgery [View all]

My wife is going to Sloan Kettering in NYC for surgery to get a biopsy of her lùng.

We live just north of DC, near Rockville.

I want to go with her for support. I have limited mobility and will be using a rollator.

We hope to get a room a few blocks from the hospital, as she will be inpatient for a few days.

I can't carry much luggage and use the. rollator at the same time. She will not be allowed to lift more than 10 pounds after surgery

We looked into a car service to take us door to door and it will cost $1000 one way.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.
