Free Shuttle to VA Hospital Expands
Free shuttle service for veterans needing transportation to and from the Sepulveda Veterans Administration Hospital has been expanded to veterans residing in Ventura.
The shuttle, provided by the Disabled American Veterans, already serves clients in Simi Valley, Lancaster and the San Fernando Valley. The four vans are driven by volunteers.
“We realize a lot of people don’t have money . . . or they don’t have transportation,” said Marie Williams, transportation coordinator for Disabled American Veterans. “We do our best to get them over here” to the North Hills hospital.
The shuttle service is available Mondays through Fridays from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Reservations must be made three days in advance. To schedule a ride, call the following numbers: from the San Fernando Valley, (818) 891-7711, Ext. 9145, or 895-9408; from Simi Valley, (805) 526-9237; from Lancaster, (805) 947-0448, and from Ventura, (805) 385-8500.
