Transportation to Medical Appointments

Transport to medical appointments OWCS coordinates a Medical Transportation Program that is almost completely reliant on volunteers. Seniors in need of a drive to a medical appointment call one of our staff members who will then make arrangements with one of our volunteer drivers. All volunteers use their own vehicles.

Cost: The cost of this program is dependent on the distance that needs to be travelled as follows:

A short distance round trip is $10.00 (all trips under 18 kms round trip)
A longer distance round trip is $15.00 (all trips 18 kms or more round trip)
