Taylor Regional Hospital - Hospitality Transportation Service
What is it?
Taylor Regional Hospital (TRH) offers free transportation services to qualifying individuals who need a ride to treatment, testing or appointments at Taylor Regional Hospital, Rehab Services, Cancer Center and other TRH-affiliated services. This includes doctor appointments to physicians associated with TRH. Partnerships with local businesses help pay for gas and vehicle maintenance.
Who is it for?
Non-Medicaid patients needing transportation to TRH appointments.
Why do they do it?
Hospital leaders recognized that some patients desperately needed rides to get to their important medical appointments.
Impact
Last year, the vans traveled more than 84,300 miles. Currently, 11 sponsors support the service with monthly contributions for gasoline. The hospital holds an annual golf scramble with all proceeds going to purchase new vans and other expenses. Patients not only benefit from the transportation service but from the social interaction with the drivers and other patients.
