Meet the Owner

Hi, I'm Salitha.

I started Southern Care Transportation because I love serving others and helping people get where they need to go.

This isn't new to me. I worked hands-on as an NEMT driver and loved it so much I decided to build my own company and do it right. I've also cared for people directly as a CNA, and I'm certified in CPR and First Aid — so safe, compassionate care isn't an add-on for me, it's second nature.

For me, this work is personal. Every passenger we carry is someone's parent, spouse, or friend, and I treat each one the way I'd want my own family treated. When you ride with Southern Care Transportation, you're not a number. You're a neighbor I'm proud to look after.
