Clarinda Regional Health Center (CRHC) - Home for the Holidays

Initiated by CRHC’s emergency medical services (EMS) team, the program offers free, round-trip transportation services from a care facility to a family gathering and back during the holiday season. The hospital volunteers its medical expertise and ability to transport medically needy or bedfast-care facility residents to what is a rare and/or sometimes last visit home.
