Wentworth-Douglass Hospital Care-Van is a service offered to eligible patients coming to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital for an extended course of treatment, most commonly Cancer treatments, Physical Therapy and Wound Healing treatments. To qualify, a patient must be unable to provide his or her own transportation and have no other regular, reliable and appropriate means of transportation, either public or private such as by bus, family members or friends.
