By the Milwaukee to O’Hare dispatch team
Last updated: November 6, 2026
Quick answer: Car service between O’Hare, Midway and Chicago’s major hospitals for patients, companions and visiting families: Northwestern Memorial and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Streeterville (30 to 60 minutes from O’Hare, 25 to 45 from Midway), Rush on the Near West Side (25 to 50 from O’Hare), UChicago Medicine in Hyde Park (25 to 40 from Midway), Lurie Children’s, and the hospitals in the suburbs. We meet inside at baggage claim, help with mobility devices, drop at the exact building entrance the appointment letter names, and book the return separately so a late discharge never costs a flight. This is chauffeured car service, not medical transport: a patient who needs supervision rides with a companion. Wisconsin patients coming to Chicago specialists ride down with us from Milwaukee, Madison and Green Bay. Text (414) 387-6619 with the flight, the hospital and the building.
Medical trip to Chicago? Text (414) 387-6619 the flight, the hospital and the building name from the appointment letter. We handle the rest, both directions.
Hospital by Hospital: Where We Drop
| Hospital | Address | From O’Hare | From Midway | Drop point |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Northwestern Memorial | 251 E Huron St, Streeterville | 30 to 60 min | 25 to 45 min | Feinberg/Galter entrance on Huron, or Prentice on Superior; the letter says which |
| Shirley Ryan AbilityLab | 355 E Erie St, Streeterville | 30 to 60 min | 25 to 45 min | Erie Street entrance; accessible curb |
| Rush University Medical Center | 1620 W Harrison St, Near West Side | 25 to 50 min | 20 to 40 min | Tower entrance on Harrison; Professional Building separate |
| UChicago Medicine | 5841 S Maryland Ave, Hyde Park | 45 to 75 min | 25 to 40 min | Center for Care and Discovery, Duchossois, or Comer Children’s: different doors |
| Lurie Children’s | 225 E Chicago Ave, Streeterville | 30 to 60 min | 25 to 45 min | Main entrance on Chicago Ave |
| Advocate Lutheran General | Park Ridge | 10 to 15 min | 45 to 60 min | Closest major hospital to O’Hare |
| Loyola Medicine | Maywood | 20 to 35 min | 25 to 40 min | |
| Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin | Milwaukee (Wauwatosa) | About 90 min | About 1 h 45 | For Chicago-area patients going north; see O’Hare car service for all of Wisconsin |
The building matters more than the hospital name: Northwestern’s campus has six entrances across three blocks. Send a photo of the appointment letter and we drop at the right door.
What Is and Is Not Medical Transport
| We do | We do not |
|---|---|
| Door-to-door chauffeured rides for patients who can sit in a car, with a companion when needed | Stretcher, wheelchair-van or supervised medical transport |
| Stow a folding wheelchair, walker or scooter; assist to the entrance | Lift a non-ambulatory patient or provide clinical care |
| Wait during a short appointment on an hourly booking | Act as the responsible adult the hospital requires after sedation |
| Return trips booked separately, moved free when discharge slips | Guarantee a return time before the hospital does |
If the hospital requires a responsible adult for the ride home, that person must be in the car; our chauffeur cannot sign for a patient.
Timing Around the Appointment
| Situation | Plan |
|---|---|
| Morning appointment, flying in the same day | Risky; book the flight the day before and a hotel near the hospital. We do airport to hotel, hotel to hospital the next morning |
| Afternoon appointment, morning flight | Land at least 3 hours before from O’Hare, 2 h 30 from Midway; we go straight to the hospital with the bags in the car |
| Multi-day treatment | Hotel near the hospital; daily hotel-to-hospital rides on one account |
| Discharge day with an evening flight | Book the airport ride for the expected discharge, and text us when the paperwork starts; the pickup moves at no charge |
| Companion flying separately | Group within 45 minutes; otherwise two cars, one account |
Hotels near Northwestern and Lurie are in Streeterville and River North; near UChicago, Hyde Park. See Chicago hotels to O’Hare and Midway.
Mobility, Comfort and Privacy
| Need | What we do |
|---|---|
| Wheelchair, walker, scooter | SUV with the device stowed; chauffeur assists from curb to door; accessible vehicle with notice |
| Airline wheelchair assistance | Request it with the airline; our chauffeur meets at the gate-area exit or baggage claim |
| Post-procedure comfort | SUV for a flat, quiet ride; no stops unless asked |
| Privacy | One pickup text; the chauffeur knows the hospital, not the reason |
| Children | Car seats on request; Lurie and Comer drops |

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I book a ride from O’Hare straight to the hospital?
Yes. We meet you inside at baggage claim, bags come with us, and we drop at the building entrance on your appointment letter.
Do you provide medical or supervised transport?
No. This is chauffeured car service. A patient who needs supervision, a stretcher or a wheelchair van needs a medical transport provider, or rides with a companion in our car.

Midway for UChicago in Hyde Park; either for Northwestern, Lurie and Rush, with Midway slightly closer; O’Hare for Lutheran General in Park Ridge.
