Medical Care & Transportation
We ensure that 100% have both access and transportation to medical care.

We will take participants to clinics and we will teach or provide training resources dealing with health issues including Diabetes, HIV, High Blood Pressure, addiction, depression, and medication management. Lack of healthcare awareness affects people's ability to be successful in everyday life. Some participants will identify their healthcare resources available in the community at low and no cost to manage their ongoing health needs.
