Herkimer HealthNet Executive Director Elyse Enea presented a\n$3,700 check to the RIDE Program of Herkimer County Catholic Charities in\nsupport of health care transportation in rural communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHerkimer HealthNet is pleased to donate $3,700.00 to the\nCatholic Charities RIDE Program,\u201d Enea said. \u201cOne of the primary barriers in\naccess to health care in rural communities is transportation. The RIDE program\nis a critical service for older individuals who may not have other alternatives\nfor transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRIDE supports transportation for seniors to their medical\nappointments. The financial support provided by Herkimer County HealthNet will\nassist in maintaining this important service to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RIDE program of Catholic Charities of Herkimer County\nprovides medical transportation both in and out of the County to Herkimer\nCounty residents 55 and older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe program is essential in helping our seniors maintain and\nimprove their overall health,\u201d Rae Raffle-Maxson said. \u201cWe are very grateful\nfor the support from Herkimer HealthNet for our program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RIDE program is operated by RSVP volunteers that serve\nas dispatchers and drivers. Last year, our volunteer drivers transported seniors\nmore than 60,000 miles. The donation from Herkimer HeathNet will assist the\nRIDE Program in reimbursing volunteer drivers so that seniors can continue to\nage in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RIDE program is in desperate need of volunteer drivers.\nIf anyone is interested, contact Raffle-Maxson at Catholic Charities of\nHerkimer County at 315.894.9917.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mission of the Herkimer County HealthNet is to improve\nthe health and well-being of individuals who live, work, play and learn in\nHerkimer County.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
