Meadowlark Hills’ Home Health companions are driving clients in safety and comfort thanks to a recent gift from Meadowlark Hills resident Robin Higham. His 1999 Oldsmobile 88 was recently added to our community’s fleet of vehicles and has become one of three cars assigned to Home Health.  

“We call it Red Robin because it’s red and it was donated by Robin Higham,” said Kelly Miller, Home Health Leader, of the four-door sedan. “People who ride in it tell us it’s very comfy. It has added to our flexibility and independence to meet the needs of our clients on their time schedule.”

Miller, a registered nurse, said staff use their trio of cars to transport clients, who live on and off campus, to doctor appointments, to movies, or wherever they need or would like to go. Staff do not use their own vehicles to provide such services.

Higham promised his two daughters that he wouldn’t drive for a time this past winter, and when he concluded a few months later that the roads would be safer without him behind the wheel, he spoke with them about his trusty 88. “They suggested I give it to the Meadowlark Hills Foundation,” Higham said.

Donated vehicles may be taken to a local auction house, with the proceeds returned to the Foundation in support of the Good Samaritan Fund. Red Robin, however, continues to appear on Meadowlark Road, to the delight of both Higham and Home Health Staff.
