I help patients with their need for transportation assistance. Our foundation offers gas vouchers for qualified patients who travel long distances to come to their appointments. For those patients who may not have a vehicle or anyone to transport them, I schedule actual transportation for them. I also assist patients with filing to Medicaid for their transportation reimbursement.

My favorite thing about working for CWF is the rewarding feeling of knowing that what we do truly makes a difference in someone’s life. Some of our patients do not know how they will afford to travel to their multiple, sometimes daily, appointments. It is very rewarding to help them with that burden and allow them to focus on their cancer care without worrying about the transportation expense.

People are often surprised by how far many of our patients in rural areas travel to receive their cancer treatments. Some patients travel two hours one way! We are thankful to have over 50 gas stations who partner with us in the River Region to support our gas voucher program.
