About This Grant:
St. Mary's Regional Medical Center (SMRMC) is dedicated to enhancing patients' well-being by improving their access to cancer care through the St. Mary's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders and the St. Mary's Infusion Therapy Center. This initiative specifically focuses on addressing transportation challenges faced by patients, who often encounter obstacles such as systemic or financial disparities, lengthy travel distances, and the inability to transport themselves due to illness. By offering transportation assistance, SMRMC aims to reduce the frequency of missed appointments and cancellations, thereby enhancing the overall health outcomes of individuals undergoing cancer treatment. This endeavor ensures that patients can conveniently adhere to recommended therapy, treatment, and follow-up plans, leading to improved overall health and well-being.
