Transportation can make it difficult to make it to doctor appointments. According to a recent needs assessment completed by Family Health Services, 42.2% of Erie County residents reported having no access to their own vehicle and 47.5% reported needing assistance while traveling. Many of these same community members stated that they have also missed medical appointments due to issues with transportation. Although there are public transit systems and taxi services in the area, routes can be difficult to interpret, can have lengthy ride times, and require payment for services. Family Health Services has created a home pick-up program to eliminate this barrier and ensure that Erie County residents are able to regularly attend their appointments. Two transportation vans, one with a wheelchair ramp, will be available for Family Health Services patients. By offering home pick-ups, a patient will be able to maintain routine care with their provider. Whether that’s medical, dental, behavioral health, or all the above, the patient will be able to establish a healthcare home. This program is completely free to the patient and continues to fulfill the excellent person-centered care that Family Health Services is known for. Our goal is to provide a service that’s burden free. This transportation service will be no charge to our patients and runs five days a week for patient services. Patients of Family Health Services can utilize this service by calling 419-502-2800 and requesting transportation services when they schedule their appointments. This free transportation service is available for all FHS locations. PAID ADVERTISEMENT 19
