(However, what is also needed is to have the information both ways -- in other words, in addition to the listing by bus route, Cherriots should also provide other listings of these "route highlights," one alphabetical (a white pages approach) and one categorical (health care, public offices, etc. -- a yellow pages approach), with each one listing the destination and the route(s) that serve it.
But, anyway, if you stumble on the story from the SJ website, you can find out that the Cherriots route 14 serves the Skyline Kaiser Permanente clinic. Assuming that the routes haven't changed since then.
