Getting to a doctor’s appointment isn’t always easy.

For Amy, a CareOregon member, mother and person living with multiple sclerosis, having consistent and reliable transportation can be a challenge. Through the Ride to Care program, she’s able to get vehicle-provided rides to the care she needs.

Ride to Care helps members get to eligible appointments with free transportation options like public transit coverage, mileage reimbursement and vehicle-provided rides.

What does a “good” day look like to you?

During Mental Health Month, we’re honoring this year’s theme, “More Good Days, Together,” by recognizing that good days can look different for everyone. A good day doesn’t have to mean being happy or productive. Sometimes it means having a manageable day, finding a moment of calm or knowing you have support when you need it.

Many factors that impact our health are beyond our control, but care, connection and community support can make a difference. No matter how you’re feeling now, remember that more good days are possible and help is available.
