Advance Scheduling Especially important for regional trips

Campus and Rural Planning Exact building and driveway matter
Trip-Specific Estimate Based on actual service requirements

Princess Anne has local laboratory, campus-health and outpatient resources, but many hospital-based appointments require travel to Salisbury, Crisfield, Berlin or another regional medical centre. Palmer reviews the exact destination, trip distance, appointment schedule, mobility level and return plan before confirmation.

A pickup may begin along Somerset Avenue, near the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, on Mt. Vernon Road, in a rural residence, at a senior setting or at another approved Somerset County location.

A campus-health or local laboratory address and a full hospital address are not interchangeable. Use the exact facility name, street address, campus building, entrance and department printed on the appointment instructions.
