Patient Transportation

Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers is pleased to offer a free, non-emergent transportation service to the Morris Hospital main campus and area physician offices. This important service makes healthcare accessible to patients who may be unable to drive or have limited mobility. Our vehicles are equipped to accommodate wheelchairs.

The Morris Hospital Auxiliary and Morris Hospital Foundation have provided funding for the majority of the Patient Transportation vehicles since the service began in 1998. The Patient Transportation drivers and assistants are all volunteers.

To reach our Patient Transportation office, call 815.705.7250.

EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF GIVING

Every day, our service and fundraising volunteers take time from their work, their leisure and home life to volunteer their talents and energies to Morris Hospital – and they make a difference. Whether working directly with patients or working behind the scenes, our volunteers enhance the level of service that we strive to provide to patients.

Morris Hospital volunteers are seniors, teenagers, and every age in between. What they share in common is their dedication and commitment to serving others.
