Volunteer Medical Escort
This program utilizes volunteer drivers, who use their personal vehicles, to transport older persons who have no other means of transportation for medical appointments or medical prescriptions, to places in Marinette County and surrounding areas.
To be eligible, a person must meet all of the following requirements:

Age 60 years or older
-
Have no friends or family members available to provide a ride
-
Unable to arrange a ride with our Elderly Services rural bus
