"Think of someone without reliable transportation and limited resources. They may not have the ability to keep appointments or fill prescriptions. They put off care, a crisis ensues, and an ambulance takes them to the emergency department. Addressing the transportation issue in advance would have prevented that costly treatment and kept them stable at home."
- Mary Jane Konstantin, RN, Senior Vice President and General Manager, CarePoint

"Twenty-five percent of hospitals said they had no funding, and 72% stated they had no dedicated funds for SDOH (social determinants of health) initiatives."
