Homebound seniors, like Martha and Louise Garner, are often forced to skip doctor visits simply because they have no way to get there. Valley of the Sun United Way is working with local nonprofit, Duet, to make sure everyone has access to healthcare. Martha and Louise have been using Duet’s services for almost a year. Volunteers drive them to and from their doctor’s appointments free-of-charge. Donating to Valley of the Sun United Way helps seniors, like Martha and Louise, live a healthy and happy life.
Good health, including access to healthcare and nutritional food, is foundational to success in school, work and life. Yet, in Arizona, food insecurity increased since COVID-19, especially among children and senior adults. In fact, 1 in 5 children and 1 in 7 seniors don’t have enough to eat. Access to quality healthcare is also a barrier.
