Partners hospitals help launch transportation program for low-income cancer patients
The MGH, BWH, Faulkner Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute are among 10 hospitals that are participating along with six taxicab companies in a citywide effort to provide transportation for low-income, Boston-area cancer patients.Sponsored by Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino and the Boston Public Health Commission, the "Boston Crusade Health Ride" program offers complimentary cab coupons to patients in need, providing them with free rides to and from local hospitals when other transportation is unavailable.
The program was announced at a press conference June 22 at Boston City Hall.
