Mon Health Medical Center recently unveiled the new Mon F.R.O.G., “Free Rides On Ground.”
The Mon F.R.O.G. is a four-person golf cart designed to transport patients to and from their vehicles on the hospital campus.
The Mon F.R.O.G. was purchased for about $30,000 and donated by the Mon Health Medical Center Auxiliary.
“Our top priority is the health and safety of our patients, and we are incredibly thankful for the Mon Health Medical Center Auxiliary for providing this service,” said Luella Gunter, executive director of Philanthropy. “The Mon F.R.O.G. will provide free transportation for patients to receive their vital healthcare services, meaning less time walking long distances, especially in inclement weather, and more time focusing on healing.”
To use the Mon F.R.O.G., patients can call the guest services department at Mon Health Medical Center at 304-413-3352 and inform them of where they are parked. It will then pick patients up, take them to their appointment, and back to their vehicles once they are ready.
If you are interested in volunteering as a driver for the Mon F.R.O.G. and are over 21 years of age, contact Nate James at JamesN@monhealthsys.org or 304-598-1324.
