Come listen to Char Padovani of Connections to Care (formerly Escorted Transportation Service). Connections to Care is a private charity that provides older adults (60+) with rides to their medical/dental appointments within the NW suburbs. Volunteer drivers pick up the rider at their home, take them to the appointment (doctor visit, x-ray, lab, minor procedure, dialysis), wait for them and return them to home. These selfless angels volunteer their time, vehicles and gas to provide this for seniors within a 14 suburban area. It is more than a ride. It is a connection. None of the Connections to Care successes would be possible without the wonderful volunteers, funders and donors throughout the years.
This is a 15-minute PowerPoint presentation starting at 12:15.
