Touchette Regional Hospital (TRH) is pleased to announce the addition of a new para-transit van to its transportation services program.
Transportation services are provided by Touchette for patients who need a way to and from medical appointments, wellness visits and/or health education programs. With a fleet of 9 vehicles, this first-of-its-kind program has increased patient well-being by making access to healthcare attainable.

The addition of our new ADA-compliant para-transit van allows us to transport more patients with a vehicle that accommodates their needs.”
