Proposal Summary
Stevens County Hospital’s Pioneer Manor in Hugoton, Kansas, is seeking assistance to purchase a 2024 Ford E450 Diamond Coach bus with 4 wheelchair positions to support transportation needs for its 76 residents with limited mobility. The project aims to enable residents to attend medical appointments, social activities, and community events, with funding support from the Parson Foundation, Stevens County Foundation, and Stevens County Medical Foundation. The primary goals are to enhance residents’ quality of life, promote community collaboration, and provide accessible transportation. The organization plans to track the bus’s impact through resident and family interviews and will acknowledge donors through local media and social media platforms.
Community Impact & Accomplishments To-Date
It will be measured by the number of activities, appointments attended by residents. Constant evaluation will be completed by interviews of residents and family.
Why Do You Think This Project Is Necessary?
Medical transportation services are vital to the quality of life for nursing home residents in rural Southwest Kansas. With limited healthcare providers nearby, residents often need to travel long distances for specialist care, routine check-ups, or hospital visits. Reliable transportation ensures they receive timely medical attention, reducing health complications and promoting better outcomes. Just as importantly, it supports their dignity and independence by allowing them to maintain connections with essential services outside the facility, contributing to a higher standard of living and overall well-being.
