The American Cancer Society’s Road to Recovery program provides free rides to cancer patients who have difficulty getting to treatment. Transportation is often a significant barrier for cancer patients, leading to missed appointments and delays in care. Road to Recovery drivers play a critical role in helping patients overcome this challenge and receive the treatment they need.
To become a Road to Recovery driver, you must meet the following requirements:
– Good driving record
– Pass a background check
– Valid driver’s license
– Access to a safe and reliable vehicle
– Proof of auto insurance
– Complete an hour-long training video
The time commitment is flexible, and drivers can choose to provide one-way or round-trip rides. The program works around your schedule and only schedules rides when you are available.
If you are interested in becoming a Road to Recovery driver, please visit cancer.org/drive or call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345. Your contribution can make a real difference in the lives of cancer patients in your community.
