Drivers
Connections to Care
If you no longer drive, worrying about transportation to crucial medical appointments can really be a burden. Stop worrying and call Connections to Care!
Connections to Care (C2C) is just the program for you – one of our carefully screened volunteer drivers will pick you up at home, drive you to your appointment, wait with you, and then return you home again, straight away – no waiting or wondering if you’re at the right door at the right time (or if you’ve been forgotten about). Your volunteer will help you every step of the way. All we ask for is a $12 donation for each round-trip ride.
Whether it’s for a routine check-up or a simple blood test, C2C’s volunteer drivers are happy to help you. Our one-to-one escorted transportation program has helped hundreds of seniors just like you get to their vital medical appointments. Why not try our award-winning senior transportation program? We’ve provided more than 30,000 round-trip rides since 2006. To qualify, the senior must live in our territory, be 60+ years of age and be able to get into and out of a car independently.
