Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Schererville, IN

Schererville grew up around the crossing of US 30 and US 41, and today it is one of Lake County's busier residential and retail towns. What it does not have is a licensed hospital of its own. Indiana's hospital directory lists none inside the town, so every admission, emergency follow-up or surgical stay means leaving town.

The good news is that four hospitals ring Schererville. Community Hospital in Munster sits to the north. Franciscan Health Dyer is west along US 30. Methodist Hospitals' Southlake campus in Merrillville is east on the same road. Franciscan Health Crown Point, rebuilt in 2024 at I-65 and US 231, is to the south. Each is a short ride; which one a patient uses usually follows their doctors.

Powers Health also runs a Community Hospital outpatient center on Harvest Drive in Schererville, so many scans and tests can happen close to home. It is not an emergency department and not a place to be admitted, which is why a follow-up visit there can still lead to a trip up to Munster.

For families, the challenge is juggling several places at once. We keep one record per rider, so the dispatcher booking Tuesday's ride to Dyer already knows about Thursday's scan on Harvest Drive and the wheelchair that goes along. When one visit turns into an admission, the ride home from the hospital is booked the same way, and the family does not have to explain the rider's needs again.
