Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Burbank, IL

Burbank grew up after the war as a village of brick bungalows and modest ranch homes, laid out on a tight grid between Harlem and Cicero Avenues. It never built a hospital. Today its residents rely on neighbors for care: Advocate Christ in Oak Lawn for trauma, heart and cancer services, OSF Little Company of Mary in Evergreen Park for its cancer center and birth center, and Holy Cross in Chicago Lawn for community hospital care.

Distance is not the main barrier. Christ is a few minutes from most Burbank addresses. The barrier is getting from the house to the car. A bungalow's front door is often several steps above the walk, with a narrow railing or none at all. For someone using a walker, or coming home after a hip or knee replacement, those steps decide whether an appointment happens.

That is where our crews focus. A driver can meet you at the door and support you down. A stair chair carries you down safely if walking is not an option. A stretcher crew of two can bring a bedbound rider out and back in. Once you are in the vehicle, the drive itself is short.

Burbank families caring for an aging parent often book a whole month of rides at once: a cardiology visit, a round of therapy, a scan. We keep the same pickup instructions on file, so the driver knows which door to use and whether to bring the stair chair. Winter adds its own problem: a snow-covered stoop is dangerous for anyone unsteady. Our drivers take the steps slowly, keep a hand on the rider, and do not leave until the rider is seated and belted in.
