OWENTON, Ky., Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- WellCare of Kentucky recently announced that they have awarded Owen County Public Transit (OCPT) a $20,000 grant to help expand their transportation services to more rural residents in the region they serve.
Starting in the spring of 2024, WellCare and the Golden Triangle Rural Health Network initiated a community impact council dedicated to identifying gaps in resources and support for rural communities in Northern Kentucky. Through this collaborative work, and after months of meetings, this council identified gaps in transportation as one of the biggest challenges for residents in this region. The council recognized this issue as a significant barrier for residents who needed to travel for necessary medical appointments and care.
In November 2025, and on the recommendation of this council, WellCare granted $20,000 to OCPT to help expand their services to more rural residents in the region they serve. This expansion is focused on giving residents access to the health care they need, especially when that care is based in a nearby city.
