AllCare Health has awarded a grant of more than $14,500 to Rogue Community Health to support expanded rural transportation services for vulnerable residents in Jackson and Josephine counties.
Officials said the initiative addresses critical gaps in access to essential services outside traditional healthcare coverage. Funding will help provide those living in rural parts of the two counties with services developed to meet their transportation needs.
Aligned with "Seven Vital Conditions Framework," this program will support transportation to access the services necessary for addressing basic needs such as employment, education, childcare, nutritious food, community events and faith-based activities.
Rogue Community Health is helping ensure that people can access the resources that support their health and dignity. By emphasizing transportation for non-covered services, this project strengthens community resilience and reduces isolation -- especially for those who experience geographic limitations, economic hardship or disability.
The grant reflects AllCare Health's ongoing commitment to investing in strategies that address social determinants of health and promoting equitable access to care and community participation.
AllCare Health is a physician-owned healthcare organization that has served Southern Oregon for more than 30 years. To learn more about Rogue Community Health, visit "roguecommunityhealth.org."
