Red Cross Dialysis Transportation
Valuable Service to Community to Continue on a Reduced Basis
For 35 years the American Red Cross Stark County chapter has provided transportation to low-income dialysis clients. In 1990, the Red Cross collaborated with Stark County to provide transportation to low-income clients needing regular transportation to dialysis treatments. On June 3, the County Commissioners voted to award the transportation contract to ABCD Dial-A-Ride. Beginning on Monday, June 15, the American Red Cross staff and volunteers will no longer be a participant in the dialysis transportation program provided through Stark County Job and Family Services. However, we will still continue to transport a number of dialysis clients to and from treatment facilities that are not connected with Stark County Job and Family Services.
The Red Cross has been able to efficiently, effectively and compassionately provide this safe and timely service thanks to the work of numerous paid and volunteer drivers. Working six days a week, even on holidays, our transportation drivers were the foundation of this service and we thank them for their commitment to our community.
