Taxi Trips from Emergency Room
Pick up needed within Transportation Hours (Monday – Friday, 8:00 am – 5:30 pm)
Call Transportation and let the department know approximately when you are expecting to be
discharged. We understand that many residents are sent out without assistive devices (including a
walker, wheelchair, etc). Please, let Transportation know if you need the driver to bring anything to
you when they pick you up! If you need assistance back to your apartment, Transportation will notify
Security. Wind Crest drivers are NOT permitted to enter your hospital room, so hospital staff will need
to assist you and your things down to the lobby for pick up. At this time, Transportation requires a
second phone call once you are completely discharged and waiting in the hospital lobby.
Transportation will inform you of the estimated time the driver will be meet you in the hospital lobby.
Please call the Transportation office if you have any questions.

pay for these cabs, if needed. Please, let the Front Desk know if you do not wish to tip the cab driver.
Your account will be billed for the amount that is given to the cab company, and be on your next
monthly statement.
