Non-emergency medical
transportation broker donates nearly $400,000 in four
years
LogistiCare, the nation’s largest non-emergency medical
transportation broker, today announced approximately 2,300
employees raised and donated more than $155,000 in 2017 to the
National Kidney Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to
preventing kidney and urinary tract diseases. The donation benefits
dialysis patients across the country and surpasses the company’s
previous record of $129,000 in 2016.
The donation is part of the company’s longstanding commitment to
provide monetary support and additional benefits to patients
suffering from kidney disease and other illnesses. In the past four
years, LogistiCare employees raised and donated nearly $400,000
from operations centers across the country through their Kidney
Walk National teams. Also, the company recently provided gift bags
which included blankets, water bottles, pill cases and other items
to 500 individuals undergoing dialysis.
“Each year, we manage millions of rides to and from kidney
dialysis centers for our members,” said Jeff Felton, LogistiCare
CEO. “While we’re honored to provide such a critical service to
those suffering from this debilitating disease, we also have a
personal desire to help improve their care and enhance the
probability of positive outcomes. As we continue our partnership
with the National Kidney Foundation, we will remain steadfast in
focusing our energies on raising awareness about the importance of
preventive care.”
Since its inception, LogistiCare has been dedicated to
supporting underserved individuals. The company annually
participates in fundraising walks in 23 cities throughout the
country to raise money for the National Kidney Foundation’s many
programs.
Also, the company recently pledged its commitment to
goBeyondProfit, an organization that encourages businesses to make
significant contributions to improve communities in which they
live, work and serve. For more information about LogistiCare’s
