Nationally, a major barrier for cancer patients to receive or complete their cancer treatment is transportation. In Northwest Arkansas, there can be the same barrier. Hope Cancer Resources provides free transportation to ensure access to care for cancer patients in our region. Because access is a major barrier to cancer care, our Patient Transportation Program is a lifeline to treatment. For patients who do not have the resources or are physically unable to drive themselves to treatment, Hope Cancer Resources is able to help.

“All of the drivers were very friendly and helpful. I don’t know how I would have been able to get to my radiation treatments without your service. Thank you so much and God bless you.”
– A Grateful Patient

Survivors who can benefit from our patient transportation program live within a 60-mile radius of Highlands Oncology Group in Rogers or Fayetteville, and Landmark Cancer Center in Rogers who would otherwise be unable to get to or from their cancer-related appointments. We are committed to provide transportation for daily, weekly and monthly cancer treatment as well as other medical appointments related to a patient’s diagnosis. This service is provided free of charge to cancer patients in our area when no other assistance is available to them.

“Hope has been so helpful. All the staff are professional, caring and very helpful. They make my cancer journey easier. Thank you!” 
– A Grateful Patient

On average, our drivers provide transportation to 62 patients, driving over 14,000 miles every month.

Our transportation team includes eight drivers who are all dedicated to making patients’ rides to and from treatment as pleasant and timely as possible.

“As a retired pastor, I wanted to find something I could do to continue my ministry, and this fit the bill. I love meeting all the patients – it seems like new ones every week, which is sad in a way, but I love doing it. I love trying to relieve some of the stress on the families of cancer patients.”
– Wally, Hope Cancer Resources Driver

“What I enjoy most about driving is the chance to bring a smile and good conversation to a patient that might be living alone, a diversion to what they are experiencing. It is the most rewarding job I have ever had!”
– Anne, Hope Cancer Resources Driver

Our team is passionate about providing hope for cancer patients in our region.
