Morongo Basin residents in need of specialty medical services must often travel great distances for appointments at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, Loma Linda, or throughout the Coachella Valley. But getting to those appointments doesn’t have to be the physical or financial burden you might think, thanks to Reach Out Morongo Basin. Reporter Mike Lipsitz has details…
Reach Out Morongo Basin provides Transportation to medical, dental, hospital, and therapy appointments. These rides are not meant to be emergency transport nor anyone’s primary means of transportation; they are a supplemental means of transportation. There are no fees for rides; however, donations are accepted and help offset fuel costs, insurance, maintenance, and other expenses. Local rides must be scheduled a week in advance and rides “down the hill” must be scheduled two weeks ahead. First-time riders should allow enough time for an assessment to be done prior to transportation. To schedule a ride, call Reach Out Morongo Basin in Twentynine Palms at 760-361-1410 or in Yucca Valley at 760-369-8971.
