Group introduces "Rides for Reform" program
DEWITT, N.Y. -- One Central New York group answered President Obama's call for a National Health Care Day of Service by launching a new project in the community.

Organizing for America volunteers from around the region are introducing "Rides for Reform," which will offer free rides to medical appointments for people in need. Organizers hope the program brings more people to their cause of reforming health care.

"If we're going to ask the government to reform health care and do something good for our community here, then we need to do some service that shows we're in this together," said event organizer John DeSantis.

The group will also distribute fliers to let the community know about low-cost children's health care.
