MONTICELLO- Sullivan County has purchased a new van that will transport veterans to their medical appointments.

“We’re a rural county, and it’s not easy to find transportation where they can afford or they can afford to get there, so that is what we are here for, ” said Ruth Ann Hayden, Director of Transportation for Sullivan County.

Stephen Walsh, the Director of the Sullivan County Veteran’s Agency, explained the areas in which transportation service is being provided.  “Any medical appointment, a Sullivan County veteran has we will accommodate as long as it is within the boundaries of Sullivan County,” said Walsh.

The van has been in service since May 8th and the response has been very positive.

To arrange for transportation, veterans living in Sullivan County can call the Veteran’s Service Agency at 845-807-0233 three days in advance.

The van was purchased by a grant from the state secured by former State Senator Jen Metzger.
