? While September and Childhood Cancer Awareness Month have come to a close, MedHaul remains committed year-round to ensuring that transportation barriers never stand in the way of the life-saving care that children need.??? ?? St. Jude Children's Research Hospital embodies hope and healing for families facing challenging health conditions. We were honored to sponsor the recent Spirit of the Dream?event, which celebrated the philanthropic contributions of African Americans who are advancing the mission of St. Jude Children's Hospital. Their support helps provide cutting-edge treatment for pediatric catastrophic diseases, ensuring no child is turned away due to race, religion, or a family's ability to pay. At MedHaul, supporting St. Jude Children's Hospital means helping families access this vital care by providing safe, reliable transportation, so their focus can remain on what matters most—healing.

Yesterday’s 2024 Centene Corporation Enterprise Procurement Supplier Summit: Partnership with Purpose was so valuable for the MedHaul team! After launching with our 1st Centene plan in Oklahoma earlier this year, the support from the organization and the Oklahoma Complete Health plan have been unmatched. This summit provided us with great insights on how continue to be an effective partner with Centene and an advocate for its members. It was a welcome surprise to receive a shoutout for our innovative and inclusive approach to addressing transportation barriers for Centene Medicaid members in Oklahoma as mentioned by Erika McConduit and Wade Rakes during the Business Overview panel with Susan Smith and Alice Hm Chen. Thank you for acknowledging our impact! We are so excited and motivated to continue to grow not only in Oklahoma but also for the opportunity to expand our reach and serve as an extension of Centene’s mission and values into their other markets nationwide. #healthequity #accesstocare #sdoh #techforgood #patienttransportation

As we approach the conclusion of National Minority Health Month, it is vital to reflect on the persistent challenges and progress in tackling transportation insecurities that significantly impact health outcomes for minorities. At MedHaul, our dedication to this cause reminds us daily of the direct connection between transportation and health equity. Transportation insecurities hinder access to essential healthcare services, affecting everything from routine medical appointments to emergency responses and long-term treatment adherence. They also play a significant role in nutritional health, as many individuals in underserved communities find it difficult to access grocery stores that offer healthy food options. Moreover, the stress and isolation caused by inadequate transportation options can exacerbate mental health conditions, creating a cycle of health and social disadvantages. Our mission goes beyond acknowledging these issues during National Minority Health Month; it is about creating sustainable change. Our? commitment drives us to innovate and advocate for better access to care for all communities, every single day. #minorityhealthmonth #minorityhealth #healthequity #accesstocare #NEMT #healthoutcomes #sdoh #driversofhealth
