Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Palos Heights, IL

Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital anchors Palos Heights: 425 licensed beds on 80th Avenue, a 24-hour emergency department, labor and delivery, behavioral health, and a full range of imaging from CT and MRI to nuclear medicine. It draws patients from across the southwest suburbs, and for Palos Heights residents it is usually the first stop for hospital care.

The hospital is only half of the picture. Palos Health also runs a South Campus on West Avenue in Orland Park. That campus houses the Northwestern Medicine Cancer Center with its infusion suite and a surgery center for ENT, GI, eye, orthopaedic and pain procedures. A Palos Heights patient might be diagnosed at the hospital, treated at the South Campus, and followed up by a specialist at Northwestern Memorial downtown.

Each of those stops needs a ride. Discharges from the hospital often call for a wheelchair van or stretcher. Infusion days leave riders tired and queasy. Surgery center patients cannot leave sedated without an escort. Downtown referrals mean a long drive in city traffic.

We handle all of them from one booking system, with fares shown up front, so a Palos Heights family does not have to arrange a different ride for every part of the same illness. The downtown leg is the one people ask about most. It runs roughly 25 miles each way, and city traffic can double the drive time, so we schedule with room to spare and tell you the full fare before you book.
