Road to Recovery

Road to Recovery is a service program offered by the American Cancer Society that strives to improve the quality of life for patients undergoing cancer care.  The program does this by providing patients with transportation to their treatments and medical appointments and home again.  Volunteer drivers donate their time and resources to help ensure that people with cancer get the lifesaving treatments they need.

Lack of transportation sometimes leaves people with cancer with few options for completing their treatment schedules.  Many people need daily or weekly treatments over a period of months and simply have no way to get there.  Although family and friends may be able to help, there are many times when they're not available.  Road to Recovery provides transportation options for people in this situation.  Road to Recovery is a free service.  People with cancer do not need a physician's referral, but advance notice is required.

For more information about the Road to Recovery program, or to find out how you can volunteer to be a Road to Recovery driver, call 1.800.227.2345 anytime day or night, or visit www.cancer.org.
