Dream Care Rides is headquartered at 20000 Governors Dr Suite 103H in Olympia Fields — less than half a mile from Franciscan Health. When you call (708) 505-6994, your driver is already here, not dispatching across town. No other licensed NEMT provider in the south suburbs operates from a closer base to Franciscan Health Olympia Fields. That proximity translates to faster pickups, lower mileage costs, and drivers who know every entrance and department in the building.
To book a medical ride from Olympia Fields, call (708) 505-6994 or schedule online at dreamcarerides.com/booking. We are primarily a private-pay provider. Medicaid accepted in select service areas — call (708) 505-6994 to check availability. We coordinate with discharge planners and case managers for facility-to-home and facility-to-facility transfers. Service is available seven days a week, including weekends and holidays, from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
Dream Care Rides chose Olympia Fields as its headquarters for one reason: geography. Olympia Fields sits at the geographic center of South Suburban Cook County, making it the ideal dispatch point for non-emergency medical transportation across the entire southern Chicagoland corridor. Our office at 20000 Governors Dr Suite 103H is located in a professional office park just off Governors Highway, surrounded by the quiet residential streets that define Olympia Fields as a community.
Franciscan Health Olympia Fields is 0.5 miles from our front door — the shortest hospital-to-headquarters distance of any NEMT provider in the entire Chicago metropolitan market. When a discharge nurse at Franciscan calls (708) 505-6994, the driver walks out our office door, gets in the vehicle, and is at the hospital entrance in under five minutes. No other non-emergency medical transportation provider in Illinois can make that claim for any hospital. This is not a marketing number. It is a measured, driven route that our team completes multiple times every single day.
The Olympia Fields location also provides fast access to I-57 southbound and northbound, I-80 east and west, and IL-30 (Lincoln Highway) through the heart of the south suburbs. This highway network puts every South Suburban community within a 15-minute drive radius from our base. Matteson, Park Forest, Homewood, Richton Park, Hazel Crest, Harvey, Country Club Hills, Flossmoor — all of these communities are within our immediate service zone.
For Olympia Fields residents specifically, this headquarters proximity means same-day ambulatory transport is virtually always available. Our vehicles return to the Governors Dr office park between trips throughout the day, so there is almost always a driver within minutes of any Olympia Fields address. The village itself is predominantly single-family residential homes, many with driveways and ground-level entries that make ambulatory and wheelchair boarding straightforward. The aging population of Olympia Fields — many residents have lived here for decades and are now in their 70s and 80s — represents exactly the community that benefits most from having a reliable NEMT provider headquartered in their own village rather than dispatching from 30 miles away in Chicago.

🚐 NEMT Drop-off Instructions
Main entrance on Crawford Ave — the patient drop-off circle is directly in front of the main doors with a covered canopy for weather protection. Ambulatory and wheelchair patients should be dropped at this circle drive where automatic doors lead into the main lobby. For stretcher and gurney transport, use the Emergency Department bay entrance on the south side of the building. Notify the facility's front desk at least 30 minutes before arrival for stretcher pickups so nursing staff can have the patient ready at the ambulance bay.

Olympia Fields is not just a city we serve — it is where Dream Care Rides lives. Our dispatch center sits at 20000 Governors Dr Suite 103H, less than half a mile from Franciscan Health Olympia Fields. That means when you call (708) 505-6994, your driver is not fighting I-57 traffic from Chicago or racing across Cook County. They are already in your neighborhood, possibly around the corner. Our drivers walk into Franciscan Health multiple times every single day. They know to use the Crawford Ave main entrance for ambulatory patients and the south-side ER bay for stretcher transports. They know the elevator bank to the third-floor cardiology unit and the outpatient rehab wing layout. For dialysis patients, the Olympia Fields Dialysis Center on Vollmer Rd is less than two minutes from our front door. We offer standing-order scheduling so your ride is automatic for every session — no need to call each time. Private-pay patients get a straightforward, upfront price with no broker markups and no surprise fees. Just call or book at dreamcarerides.com/booking and you will see the exact cost before confirming. For a full breakdown of our Illinois rates, visit dreamcarerides.com/rates. Compared to Medicaid broker-dispatched rides that can arrive late or not at all, our private-pay service guarantees on-time arrival with a driver who knows your facility. Chicago-based competitors cannot match this. Their closest base is 25+ miles north, meaning longer wait times, higher mileage charges, and drivers unfamiliar with south suburban hospital protocols. When you call (708) 505-6994 from Olympia Fields, you are calling your neighbor.
