Many San Juan Island residents know that Soroptimist International of Friday Harbor provides free ferry tickets to patients and their caregivers who have to travel off-island for cancer treatment. Recently this long-running program has gotten a dedicated phone number and e-mail address that will remain constant and will not change when a new coordinator takes over the program. Flyers about the programs at medical facilities are being updated and the correct information is always available on the SIFRI website, www.sifri.org. The best way to reach the coordinator is by e-mail at sifricttf@gmail.com. You can also call or text a message to 360-317-3854.

In addition, San Juan Airlines donated 10 round-trip tickets to and from Bellingham to the Cancer Treatment Transportation Program. Those receiving treatment in Bellingham can inquire about tickets through those contact points.
