Mercy Medical Center has had a program in place for years to support patients who face transportation barriers. As needed, we cover the costs associated with cab or Uber rides, to ensure cancer patients are able to get to the hospital for lifesaving care. It’s the right thing to do. However, as the number of cancer patients requesting transportation support has surged in recent weeks, our available resources have become quickly exhausted.
Your gift of kindness will help us continue offering this invaluable service to cancer patients who are experiencing a wide range of emotions and challenges, intensified by the onset of COVID-19. Stress and worry about transportation should not be one of them.
