Interfacility Ambulance Transport Across Central and Eastern Illinois
Hospital-to-hospital transfers 24/7 from eight stations, the Illinois Valley and the I-80 corridor, the Peoria area, and Champaign–Urbana. ALS, BLS, and critical care options for discharge planners and case managers.
A Dedicated Dispatch Line for Hospital Discharges
When a hospital needs to move a patient, uncertainty is the expensive part. Our interfacility line is staffed 24/7 by a real coordinator who confirms the crew, the unit, the transport level, and an ETA, usually in under five minutes. With eight stations across five Illinois counties, that unit is usually already near you.
Who We Serve
Stark County Ambulance moves patients between facilities for the hospitals, nursing homes, and care teams that need transport confirmed quickly and handled without follow-up calls.
Hospitals & Discharge Planning Teams
The people under pressure to clear a bed. Fast confirmation, an ETA you can plan around, and pickups that happen when we said they would.
Transfer Centers & Case Managers
One coordinator, one phone call, one confirmation, instead of chasing three services to find out who has a unit available.
Skilled Nursing & Long-Term Care Facilities
Recurring runs through a facility account, standing schedules for dialysis, and a unit when a resident needs the hospital.
Receiving & Specialty Hospitals
Peoria, Champaign–Urbana, and Illinois Valley facilities that need clean handoffs and advance notice on inbound transfers.
How to Schedule an Interfacility Transport
Request the Transport
Call our dedicated dispatch line or submit the online form. Direct number for hospital and facility coordinators.
Confirmation & ETA in Minutes
Our coordinator verifies acuity, transport level, and timing, then confirms the crew, unit, and pickup time before you hang up.
Patient Handoff at Your Facility
The crew arrives, reviews the patient care report, and takes report directly from your bedside team.
Transport, Updates & Arrival
Real-time updates en route, and confirmation to your team when the patient reaches the receiving facility.
Transport Options Matched to Patient Acuity
Capabilities that let us take the transfer instead of sending you back to the phone.
ALS Transport
Paramedic-level care en route for patients whose condition needs monitoring, medication, or intervention during the transfer.
BLS Transport
Certified EMT crews for stable transfers, the right clinical match, and the one that doesn't overcharge your patient.
Critical Care Transport
RN and critical care paramedic teams available when a transfer turns out to need more than a standard ALS unit.
A Transport Partner You Don't Have to Manage
Stark County Ambulance was built for hospitals that need a transport partner they don't have to manage. One dispatch line, confirmed ETAs, and a named account contact, across eight stations and five counties of Central and Eastern Illinois.
