AUGUSTA, Ga. – Doctors Hospital received a Sponsorship Award for providing mileage reimbursement to Road to Recovery drivers at American Cancer Society Volunteer Summit.

The Sponsorship Award recognizes a business, organization, or community group for outstanding mission delivery sponsorship that assists the Cancer Society in being good stewards of its donor dollars.

Road to Recovery provides transportation to cancer patients that do not have means of transportation to cancer related appointments.

Doctors Hospital provides mileage reimbursement to Road to Recovery drivers, trained volunteers. Between Sept. 1, 2007 and Aug. 31, 2008, volunteers donated their time and the use of their vehicles for 25 trips. These trips enabled cancer patients to receive the life-saving treatments that they needed.
