Your Guide to Medical Transport

Here are a few things you can do/keep in mind to help your child's transportation go smoothly.

Remain at your home hospital until the transport team arrives so you can fill out the necessary consent forms.
Being separated from your child when they aren't well can be very stressful. Due to space limitations in transport vehicles, you may not be able to accompany the team during transport.
You may follow in your personal vehicle but please don’t follow the ambulance closely. Keep a distance of at least 300 feet to avoid a hazardous situation for you and your child.
Ask the social workers or discharge planners at your home hospital for assistance if you would like to arrange your transportation to Shriners Children’s St. Louis. If you will be driving yourself, here are directions to the hospital.
Our pediatric social workers can provide counseling during this difficult time along with assistance with lodging and other issues. For help, just ask to speak with a social worker after arriving at the hospital.
Upon their arrival, your child will be admitted. The hospital's main number is 314-432-3600.
