Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Evergreen Park, IL

OSF Little Company of Mary Medical Center has anchored the corner of 95th Street and California Avenue for decades. Today it runs a 24-hour emergency department, a comprehensive cancer center with medical and radiation oncology, a family birth center, behavioral health services and outpatient imaging. For Evergreen Park residents, that means most routine hospital care is a very short drive away.

Short drives still need a driver. A rider leaving a chemotherapy infusion may be nauseated and unsteady. Someone coming home after sedation cannot legally drive and will not be released to a rideshare. A new wheelchair user may not yet have a vehicle that fits the chair. None of those trips are long, but all of them need someone who waits, helps, and gets the rider inside.

The same stretch of 95th Street leads west to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, about two miles away. Patients here often move between the two hospitals: a cancer diagnosis at Little Company of Mary, cardiac or transplant care at Christ. We run both routes regularly and know the entrances on each campus.

For the bigger trips, such as a specialist at the University of Chicago in Hyde Park, we plan around city traffic and keep the return flexible. The drive from Evergreen Park to Hyde Park crosses several busy corridors, and appointments there often run long. Rather than setting a fixed pickup that leaves a rider waiting in a lobby or rushing out of an exam room, we time the return leg to the end of the visit.
