Getting to Appointments

Planning Ahead

Transportation can often be a challenge. Think in advance about how you will get to medical appointments if you are not able to drive there yourself. Perhaps a friend or family member can give you a ride, or you can use public transportation or ride-sharing services such as Uber or Lyft.
