I wish! Locally, if you don't have someone to transport you to the Clinic, you are out of luck. Some people have been known to call 911 to get to the Clinic for reasonably minor health issues. Of course, that can create problems because we are limited on ambulances and ambulance crews.
The lack of transportation for local and out-of-town doctor visits has been an issue in our area FOREVER!

Good afternoon,
Do any other health centers offer transportation to their patients? I am hoping to connect with anyone that can provide me more information on their program or what resources they are using in their community. Thank you!
