Caring for Colorado Foundation has awarded CareConnect $20,000 to support the Medical Mobility program. Medical Mobility provides access to direct health services for seniors, adults with disabilities and chronically ill through the efforts of dedicated volunteer drivers.
Support from Caring for Colorado will help increase the capacity of this growing program. By July 31, 2012 CareConnect volunteers will provide 5,000 medical rides for over 350 Boulder County residents. This grant will also allow CareConnect to increase its volunteer recruitment efforts to meet the need for affordable escorted medical transportation.
The Caring for Colorado Foundation is a health grantmaker making health and accessible health care more of a reality for people in Colorado every day through targeted grants that provide measurable health improvements. Awarded grants build health care capacity, strengthen existing health care systems and link people to care.
