Go Seniors! Transportation Program
Empowering Elderly Care through Mobility
At the heart of the ECMS Foundation's mission lies a commitment to supporting underserved communities. The Go Seniors! Transportation Program is designed specifically to help our vulnerable elderly population access healthcare services by providing financial assistance for transportation, thereby enabling physicians to more effectively care for a demographic with limited resources.
Program Overview
With the help of a generous grant from the Fellows Foundation, the Go Seniors! Transportation Program provides crucial financial support to help elderly patients get to the medical care they require.
Key Features:
- Eligibility: Available to patients aged 60 and over.
- Access: Patients can obtain e-vouchers through their physician's office.
- Participation: No cost to enroll in the program.
- Assistance Provided: Each voucher provides $20 toward transportation costs. Vouchers are distributed two at a time to support round-trip travel to medical appointments.
- Important Note: The $20 voucher is intended to assist with transportation expenses. Depending on the distance traveled and transportation method used, patients may be responsible for any costs exceeding the voucher amount.
- Purpose: Vouchers can be used for travel related to healthcare needs within Pensacola, including doctor visits, pharmacy runs, and laboratory services.
This initiative helps reduce financial barriers to healthcare access for seniors and supports physicians in delivering comprehensive care to an often underserved segment of our community. By providing transportation assistance, the Go Seniors! Program ensures that essential health services are more accessible for our elderly population, promoting a healthier, more connected community.
