A day of celebration and great satisfaction, Saturday 20 May, for Anteas Copparo: the volunteers in fact welcomed the arrival of a new vehicle to replace one that was no longer adequate.
"We replace a malfunctioning machine to have a fleet of cars that is up to the service we provide," explained local coordinator Saverio Menna. "Just last April, we carried out 652 transports: the vehicles must therefore always be efficient. Maintenance of the lifts also goes in this direction, to offer everyone better services. This is possible above all thanks to our team, made up of 29 volunteers, including three secretarial workers, three professional nurses and 23 drivers: today we are also welcoming a new driver, who increases the group."
"The machines would be nothing without volunteers, whom I thank for their daily commitment," said Mayor Fabrizio Pagnoni. "I bring the "thank you" of the entire community, which uses your services in the most delicate moments and finds a welcome made of closeness and listening. You are people with a heart and the people of Copparo appreciate it very much."
The ceremony was also attended by the president of Anteas Ferrara, Paolo Paramucchi. «This group represents a true spearhead – he remarked -. So much so that at the regional level it was asked to promote the Copparo experience at the national level as a model of social transport».
In 2022, Antea Copparo traveled 137,569 kilometers and made 1,922 trips, while 415 intramuscular injections, 132 blood pressure tests and 116 blood sugar tests were performed at the Parco Verde clinic, for a total of 761 visits.
