Upper Allegheny Health System said Wednesday it has an agreement with Area Transportation Authority of North Central Pennsylvania for transportation between the two hospitals in Olean and Bradford, Pa., beginning May 1.
Transportation will be demand-based at no cost to non-emergency patients and visitors at both Olean General Hospital and Bradford Regional Medical Center.
The transportation service is the result of UAHS ending all acute care at Bradford Regional, which led to an outcry from Bradford area residents and leaders over accessibility of health care.
