HERKIMER, N.Y. — Herkimer County HealthNet has donated $4,000 to the RIDE program of Herkimer County Catholic Charities in support of health-care transportation in rural communities.
The RIDE program provides medical transportation both in and out of the county to Herkimer County residents aged 55 and over, Herkimer HealthNet said in a news release.
“One of the primary barriers in access to health care in rural communities is transportation,” Dr. Thomas Curnow, executive director of Herkimer HealthNet, said in the release. “The RIDE program is a critical service for older individuals who may not have other alternatives for transportation. RIDE supports transportation for seniors to their medical appointments. The financial support provided by Herkimer HealthNet will assist in maintaining this important service to the community.”
