Community HealthCare System (CHCS) is excited to introduce a new six-month transportation trial program to better serve both patients and staff .
Daily Routes
CHCS will provide scheduled daily routes between three key locations using our Kansas Department Of Transportation vans:
These routes will function much like “bus stops,” offering reliable transportation for those traveling between the CHCS campuses of Onaga, Holton and St. Marys for patients who need a ride to appointments.
Why This Matters
Transportation can be a barrier to healthcare access. This initiative will:
Provide patients with easier access to appointments and services.
Give staff a safe, reliable way to travel between facilities.
Ensure CHCS makes the most of its KDOT vehicles and meets annual mileage requirements.
Test Program
This program is being introduced as a six-month test. CHCS will evaluate participation and feedback to determine how the service may continue or expand in the future.
We are proud to take another step toward improving access, convenience, and care for the communities we serve.
