Wellness is more than medical care—it’s about keeping seniors active, socially engaged, and mentally stimulated. In Massachusetts, senior centers and community organizations are embracing wellness-focused transportation programs that support overall health and independence.
Van Pool is proud to partner with these communities, providing safe and reliable transportation that makes wellness programming possible.
