Transportation
Transportation to and from radiation and chemotherapy may be provided for our registered clients. Rides to these treatments are provided primarily by trained volunteers, and occasionally by other community programs. Detailed requests for transportation must be submitted at least 5 working days in advance of treatment.
There is no cost to our clients for this service. However, be aware that this transportation service depends on the availability of trained volunteers, and is not guaranteed. Client Advocates will work with clients to find solutions to transportation problems.
