Cancer patients getting a lift
According to the Press & Sun-Bulletin, officials with the American Cancer Society announced today an expansion of its Road to Recovery program that provides cancer patients with rides to, and from, their treatments.
The officials announced three corporate sponsors -- United Health Services, New York State United Teachers and Lourdes Hospital -- have agreed to partner with the cancer society to have their employees and retired teachers provide rides for patients.
The society is looking for 12 corporate sponsors to become involved, said Towhee Shupka, senior director for patient and family services with the cancer society.
The society needs more volunteer drivers, officials said. Last year alone, the cancer society provided 400 rides. But the society received about 700 requests, Shupka said. More on this story and others can be found at the following link:
