| | A Rural Health Network associate rode along on a trip from Deposit to Lourdes Hospital. The Deposit Foundation has a 2005 Dodge Caravan minvan. The van was clean and air-conditioned. There were sliding doors on both sides of the van. A small wooden step was available for use in stepping into and out of the van. |
| | |
| | The driver pulled into the client’s driveway and rang the doorbell. Our passenger was waiting and ready to go when we pulled up. The driver assisted the client into the van and half an hour later, we arrived at Lourdes. We were ahead of schedule; the Deposit Foundation’s policy is to schedule an hour for the trip from Deposit to Binghamton, though the trip typically is shorter. The Deposit Foundation drivers are very accommodating as they make sure the client gets into the appointment location safely and on time. On one occasion, the driver recalled that she drove a client into Binghamton for a short-term stay at the hospital. The client realized that she forgot a few things at home. Rather than let the client stay in the hospital without them, the driver went to the local Kmart and bought the necessary items. |
| | |
| | The client’s appointment at Lourdes was over at its scheduled time. The driver returned the client to her house in the hills of Deposit. The doctor scheduled another appointment with the client who will contact the Deposit Foundation office to schedule the ride. |
