LIFE Armstrong County Introduces New Transportation Van to Enhance Participant Convenience and Safety

LIFE Armstrong County is excited to announce the arrival of a new wheelchair-accessible transportation van to their fleet. This small van provides participants with a more convenient and economical option for their medical appointments. With a focus on safety and convenience, the new van will ensure that all participants, regardless of mobility, can benefit.

“This new van provides an alternative for participants needing to travel further distances for their medical appointments, particularly to Pittsburgh,” stated Dan Merli, LIFE Armstrong County Transportation Site Manager. “It plays a critical role in keeping our participants healthy and safe by ensuring they have timely access to their healthcare providers. The smaller size of the van makes it a more feasible and convenient option for our participants, and the economic benefits are an added advantage.”

Drivers like Mikayla are enthusiastic about the new van and the opportunities it brings. They are eager to see how this addition will improve the participants’ experience by making their journeys more comfortable and ensuring they get to their appointments safely.

The new van is just the beginning, as more vehicles will soon be introduced across the LIFE programs, further enhancing transportation options for our participants. Keep an eye out for these new additions as we continue to improve our services and support the well-being of our communities.
