In its first month of operation, the new Uber program that takes Mississippians to county health department appointments received 58 transportation requests.
Without a marketing plan for the initiative and just a month of data, it’s not clear how effective the program is yet at increasing health care access in Mississippi.
The Uber initiative is aimed at making it easier to get to county health departments where an increasing number of Mississippians may be seeking care. The ongoing health crisis has forced hospitals to stem services to stay open, making it harder to access care nearby.
