The Davies Project connects families to resources and community by providing reliable transportation for seriously ill children and pregnant women to essential healthcare. Seventy percent of the children who use the Lansing area subspecialty clinics are on Medicaid and are missing up to 60% of their doctor appointments, often because they do not have a reasonable way of getting there. Since each appointment is essential for monitoring a child’s condition and keeping him or her as healthy as possible (and out of the hospital), The Davies Projects’s first goal is to help families by giving them volunteer-provided rides to primarily Lansing area medical appointments.The Davies Project provides rides to all a child’s medical appointments. This includes all specialty appointments, physical therapy, occupational therapy, mental health care, dental and eye visits, and primary care. We also provide rides to prenatal visits for pregnant women, and to the NICU for parents of hospitalized infants.Every activity supports the healthiest outcomes possible for our community’s children.
