Special transport requests
If a patient has urgent, acute needs after regular St. Jude hours, and requires an unscheduled visit, they should call the Infusion Center at 901-595-2441 before going there.
- The Infusion Center will assess the patient’s needs.
- If the patient is told to come to the Infusion Center, the nurse can set up transportation for the patient.
- After hours, patients who do not have an emergency can also call Transportation Dispatch, 901-595-4856, for transportation.
- If the situation is an emergency, the Infusion Center may advise that a patient go directly to a local hospital emergency room.
- Note that St. Jude does not have an emergency room.
- Patients should arrange their transportation to the emergency room themselves or call 911.
