Medical appointment transportation driver volunteers deliver clients to and from medical appointments and pharmacies (up to ten miles from the client’s home, one way). Choose one weekday or more in a region of the county. Volunteers do not lift clients nor transport those in wheelchairs. The earliest client pickup begins at 8:45 for a 9:30 appointment, and scheduled trips must be completed by 4 pm for safety reasons. Volunteers will use their own vehicle.
