Volunteer drivers needed to transport seniors in South King County

Group Health’s Transportation Assistance Program needs volunteer drivers to transport senior members to and from medical appointments in South King County, including Renton, Burien, Seatac and Kent.

Volunteers use their personal cars, are reimbursed for mileage, and determine their own schedules—including when, where, and how often they will drive. Rides are offered Monday through Friday.

Group Health’s Special Transportation Program is funded by the Group Health Foundation, Metro Accessible Services, and Sound Generations. Volunteers do not need to be Group Health members.

For more information, please contact the Group Health Resource Line at 206-326-2800 or email resource.L@ghc.org.
