More Than Transportation
Companionship. Transportation. Advocacy.
At Better Together YYC, we know that getting someone to an appointment is sometimes only part of what they need.
They may need:
A companion.
Someone who is there for conversation, reassurance and encouragement.
A driver.
Someone who understands that transportation may involve mobility equipment, extra time and careful preparation.
An advocate.
Someone who can listen, clarify information, take notes and help ensure important details aren't overlooked.
That's where Better Together YYC comes in.
