The American Cancer Society is expanding a program to help cancer patients when they need it most.
Road to Recovery is a volunteer-based driving program that will provide transportation to and from medical centers for cancer patients undergoing treatment.
The American Cancer Society is recruiting volunteers to help drive cancer patients to and from their cancer-related appointments in Boone, Hamilton, Hendricks, Marion and Morgan counties. All volunteers need is a reliable means of transportation and a few hours during the week.
"Sadly, patients every day are canceling and postponing their cancer treatment simply because they do not have a ride," said Barb Miller, community program manager, American Cancer Society. "Right here in Central Indiana, many newly diagnosed cancer patients are not getting the treatment they need simply because they do not have transportation. It is our job to help them get back on the road to recovery."
To learn more about Road to Recovery or to volunteer for this program, call (800) 227-2345. Cancer information also is available 24 hours a day by calling the same number or visiting www.cancer.org
