Abstract
This project aimed to assess provider perspectives on transportation difficulties at the UVMMC Hinesburg Family Medicine Clinic. Vermont has an aging population, which is above the national average. Many older patients, lower socioeconomic patients, and patients with disabilities have a hard time making their appointments due to transportation challenges. This study surveyed the experiences of providers with this issue and found that patients routinely mention issues with getting transportation to the facility. To help with this, the author created a list of transportation resources that providers and staff can use for patients at Hinesburg Family Medicine.
