For vulnerable populations, transportation can be unaffordable. Lack of transportation options can leave a nursing home patient in the hospital beyond a normal discharge time. If family or friends are unavailable, the coordination of a ride back to the facility can take hours or even days.

Patients are often brought in for emergency care by EMS, but have no means of transportation back home. Until a ride is coordinated, patients will wait long periods of time in the hospital, taking up a bed and delaying the admissions of other patients to the floor.

Lack of transportation can cause patients to miss appointments, delay filling prescriptions, or not seek emergency care, potentially leading to worsening health conditions.

By making a gift in support of the 2025 Penn Highlands Healthcare Annual Giving Campaign, you are helping to ensure that transportation is not a barrier to health care and that no one person withholds seeking care, because of limited options available. Join us in giving the greatest gift this holiday season as we ask for your consideration and participation in this year's annual giving campaign.

“As our community continues to grow and thrive, we are experiencing an increased need for transportation for patients to and from doctor’s appointments, outpatient procedures and inpatient hospital stays.

By supporting the Penn Highlands Healthcare Annual Giving Campaign with your generous gifts, you are in turn helping to provide your neighbors, family and loved ones with much needed access to transportation that will meet their medical needs. “

–Patrick Cooley, Director PHH Transfer and Connect Center
