Herkimer HealthNet Executive Director Dr. Thomas Curnow presented a $3,000 check to the RIDE Program in support of health care transportation in rural communities.<\/p>\n

“Herkimer HealthNet is pleased to donate $3,000 to the Catholic Charities RIDE Program,\u201d said Curnow said.\u00a0\u201cOne of the primary barriers in access to health care in rural communities is transportation.\u00a0The RIDE program is a critical service for older individuals who may not have other alternatives for transportation.\u00a0RIDE supports transportation for seniors to their medical appointments.\u00a0The financial support provided by HealthNet will assist in maintaining this important service to the community.”<\/p>\n

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

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

The RIDE program is run by volunteers. Last year, the program reimbursed its drivers for more than 62,000 miles. Herkimer HeathNet’s donation will assist the program in reimbursing the volunteer drivers. The RIDE program is in desperate need of volunteer drivers.\u00a0If anyone is interested, contact Rae Raffle-Maxson at Catholic Charities of Herkimer County at 315.894.9917.<\/p>\n

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