Getting to and from medical treatments is one of the greatest concerns cancer patients face during treatment. To ensure patients get to those much-needed treatments, the American Cancer Society provides free rides through its Road To Recovery program.
The Society is currently looking for volunteer drivers in Northwest Indiana so that all patients have transportation when they need it. An estimated 4,906 Northwest Indiana residents will learn that they have cancer this year; however getting to their scheduled treatment may be a challenge.
“The program not only helps patients, but is also rewarding for the volunteer. Several of our drivers have volunteered for a number of years,” added Melissa.
