NEW! SHUTTLE RIDES TO BOSTON HOSPITALS

A new shuttle van transportation service has been added to the Rossetti-Cowan Senior Center for Residents who are seniors and members of the center.

This service will provide members a ride to a doctor’s appointment at the Boston hospitals. This service will allow seniors to get to these appointments without having to drive in the Boston traffic or having to pay parking fees.

This is a brand-new service and we are learning the best way to make this work. We are requesting that you book your appointment between the hours of 10:00am-1:00pm, Monday thru Thursday, so the driver will be able to navigate the traffic. Please do not book this ride if your appointment will be longer than 1-2 hours as the driver will be most likely waiting for you. You are allowed to take a companion if you need assistance. The driver will not be able to assist you to the appointment office. Call us to book your ride!
