West Herr Auto Group has donated a much-needed van to help transport patients to and from Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center, according to a press release on West Herr's website.

West Herr donated a seven-passenger 2017 Dodge Caravan to help with patient transportation.

“Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center is a vital component to the region and West Herr is proud to support their efforts with a van donation,” West Herr Automotive President and CEO Scott Bieler said. “The CARExpress team, including the volunteer drivers, deserve praise for their continued service to the community and we are grateful to play a small part in those efforts.”

CARExpress vans offer service on weekdays and are staffed by trained volunteers and assistants.

“This very generous gift will ensure that patients who lack basic transportation will have access to the care they need,” Memorial President and CEO Joseph Ruffolo said. “Many of those served by CARExpress are elderly, disabled or both and most have limited means. This new van will be a godsend to them.”
