City Seeks Volunteer Drivers for Glen Cove's Medical Transport Program

The City of Glen Cove is looking for volunteer drivers to transport residents to any non-emergency doctor, physical therapy, hospital, lab or medical center visits.

To have a Monday through Friday schedule, the Glen Cove Medical Transport Program needs to fill volunteer driver vacancies on Thursdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“This is a great program that helps members of our community access the healthcare they need but as demand increases so does our need for volunteer drivers,” Mayor Reggie Spinello said in a press release.

Carol Waldman, Director of the Glen Cove Senior Center said they are “looking for people with free time, an excellent driving record and big hearts.”

The Medical Transport program is made possible by a partnership between the Glen Cove Senior Center and North Coast Subaru. The dealership provides a Subaru Outback vehicle for the program’s use and conducts vehicle maintenance and upkeep at no cost. The City provides insurance and fuel.

Anyone interested in volunteering can contact the Glen Cove Senior Center at (516) 759-9610 or the Medical Transport Office Coordinator Phyllis Burnett at (516) 676-2846.
