Role:

Accompany older adults to medical appointments (in a taxi, other community
transportation, or your own vehicle). Our ideal Escort volunteer is compassionate, reliable, and communicative.


How it works:

When we receive a Medical Escort request, we email our Escort volunteers with the relevant details, including date, time, appointment location, and caller’s neighborhood. If you’re available, just reply, and we put you in contact with the older adult. A trip may be round trip (to the appointment and back) or pickup only (at the conclusion of the visit).
