Theresa Strong on the Brad Davis Show 9-14-18

Talk of Connecticut

RSVP Program manager Theresa Strong called into the Brad Davis show to talk about The Community Renewal Team (CRT) manages a volunteer program for retired seniors, known as RSVP, and one of the services offered through that program provides seniors with free round-trip transportation from their homes to medical appointments and back again. RSVP is now expanding its medical transportation service that provides door-to-door-to-door service for seniors in need of rides to medical appointments. This expansion is thanks in part to funding provided by the towns of Suffield and Windsor Locks. CRT is now operating the free medical transportation service in the following towns: Berlin, New Britain, Southington, Suffield, & Windsor Locks. While the RSVP drivers can take passengers all over the state of Connecticut, the passengers must be from one of those five communities to use this free service. CRT hopes to be able to expand this service to other communities in the coming months.
