Aspire Rural Health System is proud to announce that Marlette Regional Hospital is one of six recipients of the $15M Equitable Mobility Challenge.
Launched in early 2024, the program sought grant proposals that addressed mobility gaps and improved access to education, jobs, health care, food, and social opportunities. Marlette Regional Hospital has proposed a service to connect a variety of senior living facilities in Marlette with medical services and their community.
The project, Effectively Connecting Seniors, will allow for senior facilities around Marlette Regional Hospital’s campus to have greater access to safe exploration of the Marlette community and travel to receive medical services more easily. With this project, they hope to address social isolation, mental and physical health, and community connections by focusing on senior citizens by utilizing golf carts for transportation to medical appointments and community events.
By increasing access to healthcare and health-related events, it will help improve seniors’ physical well-being.
