The American Cancer Society’s Road To Recovery program offers free transportation to those undergoing cancer treatment.

According to Senior Executive Director, Jenny Todd, the American Cancer Society provided 5,700 free rides to 752 cancer patients in 2019, which was the last full year the program was available.

Health Reporter Haley Hernandez rode with volunteer driver, Patsy Gatterson, through Greenspoint on Monday. Gatterson’s parents each used the service. Her mother and father, of Fifth Ward, both died of pancreatic cancer. She said now she has the heart to help others going through the same thing. For her, enrolling to be a driver took about 20 minutes and ACS did the rest of the work .Requests can be made through an app and drivers can choose when they’re free to help.
