Chicago hospital goes green while expanding access to healthcare

Saint Anthony Hospital, one of Chicago’s longest running hospitals, is using a City of Chicago grant to buy four new electric vehicles and charging stations for the hospital’s free transportation service.

With rising costs in automobiles, gas, and rideshare programs, Saint Anthony Hospital has seen an increase in demand for the free pick-up and drop-off service the hospital offers to its patients.

“Our registration team, they ask them why did you miss that appointment and they’ll come out and say oh we didn’t have transportation we missed the bus or something along those lines and that’s when they offer our services,” said Mike Sellers, assistant vice president of support services at Saint Anthony Hospital.https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/chicago-hospital-goes-green-while-expanding-access-to-healthcare/3181510/
