Lurie Children's Hospital, Loyola University Medical Center, and Advocate Christ Medical Center round out a healthcare ecosystem that draws patients from across the Midwest.

Chicago Weather Considerations
Chicago winters are brutal — ice, snow, sub-zero wind chills. For elderly and wheelchair-using patients, winter weather adds real danger to every trip. Crown Care ensures vehicles are winter-ready, drivers are experienced in winter conditions, and pickup/drop-off timing accounts for weather delays.
O'Hare and Midway Airport Transport
We provide medical airport transportation at both O'Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW) for patients traveling to Chicago hospitals. Wheelchair-accessible vehicles are available for all airport pickups.
