Transportation a major health care concern for rural residents; new program targeting problem

Julie Smith/News Tribune Suzanne Alewine, near, and Reagan Alewine stand before a large Missouri map on which they place pins denoting everywhere their services are offered. Suzanne is the founder and principal partner of Community Asset Builders, where her daughter Reagan serves as the HealthTran program director. Both are passionate about filling the need for transportation for medical visits and are working with hospitals, doctor offices and medical clinics around the state to see that everyone who needs transportation to and/or from a medical visit is able to receive that service.

After years of starts and stops, a program providing transportation to health care patients is set to roll out in early 2024.
