Why Families Choose Us for Barnes-Jewish
Barnes-Jewish Is a Complex Campus.
Barnes-Jewish Is a Complex Campus.
We Know It.
Barnes-Jewish Hospital is one of the largest and most visited medical campuses in Missouri. Multiple towers, dozens of specialty departments, a labyrinthine parking structure, and a Siteman Cancer Center that draws patients from across the region — navigating it while managing a sick or post-surgical loved one is genuinely hard.
Your Safety Net drivers know the Barnes-Jewish campus. We know where to pull up for wheelchair patients, which entrance is closest to the Cancer Center, and how long it typically takes to get from the parking structure to the neurology floor. We handle the logistics so your family doesn’t have to.
We also wait. If your appointment runs long — and at Barnes-Jewish, they often do — your driver stays. You don’t call an Uber from a hospital lobby with an IV bruise on your arm. We’re there when you come out.
✓
Door-to-Department ServiceWe take you from your front door to the specific department entrance — not just the hospital address. Tell us where you’re going and we handle the rest.
✓
Driver Stays & WaitsNo timing pressure. Your driver waits in the vehicle or nearby and is ready the moment you come out — whether that’s 45 minutes or 3 hours.
✓
Family NotificationWe text your designated family contact when we arrive, when the appointment starts (if known), and when your loved one is on the way home.
✓
Wheelchair-Accessible VanOur ADA-compliant 2025 Toyota Sienna rear-entry van is available for patients who use a wheelchair or mobility device — no separate booking required.
✓
Recurring & Standing SchedulesWeekly chemo, dialysis, therapy, or follow-up visits — we set a standing schedule with your matched driver at discounted recurring rates.

Barnes-Jewish Departments &
Campus Destinations
The Barnes-Jewish / Washington University Medical Campus spans multiple buildings across the Central West End. We serve every department and destination on campus — just tell us where you’re going.
Siteman Cancer Center
One of the most common recurring destinations from our transport schedule. Weekly chemotherapy, radiation, infusion therapy, and oncology consultations. We know the Siteman entrance, the pace of these appointments, and how to make the experience as comfortable as possible for patients and families.
Neurological Institute
Neurology, neurosurgery, stroke care, epilepsy, and movement disorders. We serve patients coming from across the metro for Wash U neurology consultations and procedures, including those who require wheelchair assistance or mobility support throughout the visit.
Heart & Vascular Center
Cardiology, cardiac surgery, electrophysiology, and vascular procedures. Many of our cardiac patients require recurring post-procedure follow-up visits — we handle standing schedules for these appointments with a consistent, familiar driver every time.
Specialty & Surgical Clinics
Orthopedics, transplant services, urology, ophthalmology, gastroenterology, and outpatient surgery. For post-surgical patients who cannot drive, we provide both the pre-surgery arrival ride and the recovery return trip — with extra care and patience on the way home.
Outpatient & Specialty Clinics
Washington University specialist clinics, Wash U Physicians offices, radiology, lab work, and outpatient consultations. One-time or recurring — we handle single visits and standing weekly schedules with equal care.
Inpatient Visits & Discharge
Family members visiting loved ones admitted to Barnes-Jewish, or patients being discharged who need safe, reliable transport home. Discharge rides are among our most important services — we coordinate timing with the nursing floor and ensure a smooth, dignified return home.

Common Questions
Questions About Transportation
Questions About Transportation
to Barnes-Jewish
How far in advance do I need to book a ride to Barnes-Jewish?
+
We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance when possible — it allows us to confirm your matched driver and send a reminder the day before. For same-day or short-notice requests, call or text us directly at (314) 301-9530 and we’ll do our best to accommodate. For standing recurring appointments like chemo or dialysis, we lock in your schedule once and it runs automatically.
Will the driver wait while my appointment is at Barnes-Jewish?
+
Yes — waiting is a standard part of our service, not an add-on. Your driver waits in the vehicle or nearby for the duration of your appointment. There’s no pressure to hurry out and no extra charge for a longer-than-expected visit. For appointments that typically run 3+ hours (chemo, surgical procedures), we coordinate timing in advance so your driver is informed and prepared.
My loved one is being discharged from Barnes-Jewish — can you pick them up?
+
Absolutely — discharge transport is one of our most common and most important services. We coordinate with you (or the patient’s nurse) on discharge timing, arrive with ample time, assist with any belongings, and ensure a smooth, unhurried ride home. Wheelchair van available if needed. Call us as soon as discharge timing is confirmed.
Do you know which entrance to use for specific departments?
+
Yes. The Barnes-Jewish campus has multiple entrances and towers, and using the wrong one can mean a long walk for a patient who’s already tired. Tell us what department or building you’re going to when you book and we’ll pull up at the right entrance. For Siteman Cancer Center, the Neurology building, the Heart & Vascular Center, and the main surgery tower we have specific drop-off and pickup points we use regularly.
Can a family member ride along to the appointment?
+
Yes, always and at no additional charge. Caregivers, family members, and companions are welcome on every ride. We have seating for up to 7 passengers in the van. Many families choose to ride along for the first few appointments before letting a loved one travel independently once they’re comfortable with the service.
What’s the cost for a round trip to Barnes-Jewish?
+
Our standard rate is $65/hr for ambulatory transport and $85/hr for wheelchair van service. For a round trip including wait time, most appointments run 2–4 hours total. We provide a clear price estimate when you book — no surprises. Recurring patients on standing schedules receive discounted package rates. Call or text us for a specific quote based on your pickup location and appointment length.
