American Cancer Society - Road to Recovery Program
Transportation can be one of a cancer patient’s biggest roadblocks to treatment. That’s why the American Cancer Society Road To Recovery program provides patients in need with free rides to treatment. For those who cannot drive themselves or have no other means of getting to cancer-related medical appointments, volunteers donate their time to give patients a much-needed ride. Right now, one of the biggest barriers to cancer care is transportation. Because, even the best treatment can’t work if a patient can’t get there.
All volunteers must have: A valid driver’s license, a good driving record, access to a safe and reliable vehicle, computer or tablet access, and some flexible availability Monday-Fridays from 8am-6pm. The American Cancer Society screens and trains all volunteer drivers and coordinates the rides for patients. Volunteer drivers donate their time and can provide as many rides as they want.
To learn more about volunteering for the Road To Recovery program, contact Program Manager, Hannah Meinen at 317-344-7814 or by email at [email protected]. Cancer patients who want more information on using transportation services can call the 24-hour hotline at 1-800-227-2345.

American Cancer Society - Road to Recovery Program
Transportation can be one of a cancer patient’s biggest roadblocks to treatment. That’s why the American Cancer Society Road To Recovery program provides patients in need with free rides to treatment. For those who cannot drive themselves or have no other means of getting to cancer-related medical appointments, volunteers donate their time to give patients a much-needed ride. Right now, one of the biggest barriers to cancer care is transportation. Because, even the best treatment can’t work if a patient can’t get there.
All volunteers must have: A valid driver’s license, a good driving record, access to a safe and reliable vehicle, computer or tablet access, and some flexible availability Monday-Fridays from 8am-6pm. The American Cancer Society screens and trains all volunteer drivers and coordinates the rides for patients. Volunteer drivers donate their time and can provide as many rides as they want.
To learn more about volunteering for the Road To Recovery program, contact Program Manager, Hannah Meinen at 317-344-7814 or by email at [email protected]. Cancer patients who want more information on using transportation services can call the 24-hour hotline at 1-800-227-2345.
