    • Abstract:
      The article presents a reprint of the article "Perham Memorial drives change." It focuses on the Perham Memorial Hospital and Home's (PMHH) $1 van transportation service for seniors and disabled residents. According to Jim Rieberk, PMHH director of Emergency Medical Services/Info Systems, before PMHH started the service, the community had no transportation service. Before the transition to private operation, the hospital and home offered thousands of rides and subsidized the service to the tune of $30,000 per year.
