Battling cancer is an arduous fight, and even being able to get oneself to treatment can be a struggle. According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 111,870 people in New York State will be diagnosed with some form of cancer this year, and access to treatment is critical.
Since some patients are too ill to drive themselves to hospitals for treatment, the American Cancer Society launched a program called “Road to Recovery” in 1981. In 2018, more than 28,000 patients received over 480,000 rides to and from treatment nationwide.
