As a result of a generous state Local Economic Development Assistance (LEDA) grant secured by state Sens. Jason Barrett and Patricia Rucker and former state Sen. Craig Blair, Hospice of the Panhandle was able to purchase this 2025 Toyota Sienna custom van, designed for non-emergency transportation. Since coming into service on March 1, the van has transported 15 patients to and from area hospitals to Hospice’s Inpatient Facility and from the IPF to patients’ homes. “We are so excited to provide this much-needed service,” said CEO Nikki Bigiarelli. “It assures that we can get patients into hospice care, to our facilty and to their homes safely and quickly.”
