Southeastern Health’s Volunteer Drivers Receive Grant

Southeastern Health’s U-Care Connections program, which provides transportation to local health services, got a boost this week in the form of a $550,000 grant from the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust. U-Care Connections volunteer drivers, also referred to as Connectors, provide volunteer hours and a vehicle and receive only a gas mileage reimbursement. “The difference in our program is the encouragement given from the driver,” Carter said.
