Every year, more than 3.6 million appointments are missed due to lack of transportation, Lyft said in a statement Tuesday.
"Access to transportation is a major barrier that delays a patient's breast cancer screening appointment," said Paris Thomas, Community Health Manager at the Metropolitan Chicago Breast Cancer Task Force. "We are thrilled to be working with Lyft to eliminate this barrier and promote access to high quality breast care for all."
Now through October 31st, riders can request a code for two free Lyft rides, up to $15 per ride, when scheduling an appointment at participating screening sites in the Chicagoland area.
Code is valid for appointments made at the following locations:
Rush University Medical Center, 1653 W Congress Pkwy, Chicago, IL 60612
