Big Ideas in Health Care Transportation

Transportation problems are a major reason why people miss healthcare appointments (at some Springfield facilities the no-show rate is around 25% of all appointments). To examine this problem and develop a solution, the National Center for Mobility Management (NCMM) has funded a diverse stakeholder team representing experts from the healthcare, transportation, and patient advocacy fields.
