Rural Economic Assistance League, Inc. (REAL) (Alice, TX) – 2016-17 Planning Grantee

The planning project focused on bridging the gaps and developing a transportation system that aligns transit services with needs to assist in increasing access to health care for transit dependent dialysis users. The project resulted in discounted fares for transportation to and from dialysis, flexible scheduling, and filling transportation gaps for holidays and off-hours when normally transportation would not be available. The project included a large component of educating transportation and dialysis clinic staff about the processes and challenges involved in their work to serve patients who need dialysis.
