    Description

    🚗 Become a Lifeline — Volunteer as a Medical Driver

    At Ashland Aging, we believe no senior should miss a medical appointment because they don’t have a ride. For many older adults in Ashland County, transportation is the barrier between staying healthy and going without essential care. Many of those in need have cancer check-ups or treatments. Volunteering to provide transportation, even once a month, can make a huge impact.

    That’s where you come in.

    We are currently seeking compassionate volunteer medical drivers to provide non-emergency transportation to medical appointments. A single ride can mean peace of mind, improved health, and the ability for a neighbor to remain independent in their own home.

    Why This Matters

    When you volunteer as a medical driver, you:

    • Help seniors access critical healthcare
    • Support independence and dignity
    • Offer reassurance to families
    • Strengthen the fabric of our local community

    Many of our volunteers say the conversations and connections are just as meaningful as the service itself.

    What’s Required

    To ensure the safety and well-being of those we serve:

    • A mandatory background check is required
    • Volunteers must have a valid driver’s license
    • A reliable vehicle in good working condition
    • Current auto insurance coverage

    We work with your schedule and provide coordination and support so your time is used effectively and comfortably. We offer mileage reimbursement for those who need it.

    Ready to Make a Difference?

    If you have a caring heart and a safe vehicle, you can help ensure a senior gets to the care they need.

    Your time behind the wheel can truly change someone’s life, including yours.
