How DispatchHealth Works

Request care: You can request urgent care services by calling (773) 739-6717 or visiting DispatchHealth.com.

Explain your symptoms: Let us know what symptoms you are having and any other important information. 

Get care at home: Experienced medical providers arrive within a few hours to provide treatment. Each team includes a nurse practitioner or physician assistant, along with a medical technician. An on-call emergency medicine physician is always available by phone for consultations. Our team will arrive in a clearly marked vehicle so you know who they are right away.
