At Wellness Bridge Foundation, we’ve seen it firsthand—patients missing life-saving care not because they’re unwilling, but because they’re unable to get there.
Transportation should never stand in the way of healing. Yet, this is the reality for too many people in underserved communities.
Why Transportation Matters
Lack of access to safe, affordable rides leads to:
• Missed appointments
• Delayed diagnoses
• Worsened health outcomes
This issue affects low-income families, rural communities, and individuals managing chronic illnesses—especially cancer.
How We Help
Through BridgeRide and MammoRide, we offer:
• Free or low-cost transportation
• Culturally competent drivers
• Flexible scheduling for treatment and screenings
We partner with hospitals, clinics, and community leaders to ensure patients never face cancer alone—or on foot.
