Volunteer Rides

American Cancer Society Patient and Family Services Coordinator
The Road to Recovery program provides transportation for cancer patients in active cancer treatment, or appointments that support active treatment (anemia medications) and cancer-related surgery. Patients will not be transported to diagnostic appointments or other medical appointments. It’s offered to cancer patients who have no means of transportation or are unable to drive themselves. Patients must be able to ambulate independently.
Patients living in a supervised setting (such as a nursing home) cannot be transported by volunteer drivers but must depend on their home institution. An adult must accompany patients under the age of 18. Medicaid eligible patients are urged to use Medicaid sponsored transportation so that other patients can take advantage of Road to Recovery rides.
