Eastern Royal Medical Transport

Planning medical transport to or from Danville, Pennsylvania

A pickup on the Geisinger hilltop starts on different streets than one downtown near Mill Street, in Mechanicsville or Mausdale near the borough, or across the river in Riverside. Bloomsburg and other Columbia County towns each have their own roads to the highway.

Send Eastern Royal Medical Transport the two street addresses, the travel day, the hospital unit or home entrance, and the name of the person who will meet the rider. A start in Riverside crosses the river before reaching PA-54 and I-80, while a start on the hill reaches them through different local streets, and winter storms can move the date.

This service is for scheduled, non-emergency ground transportation. It is not an ambulance or emergency-response service; call 911 when immediate medical help is needed.

Example long-distance routes from Danville

Main corridors: I-80, US-11, PA-54.

Seasonal travel considerations

Danville lies in Appalachian ridge country, and its January average is about 27 degrees. Winter storms can slow the hill roads around the Geisinger campus and the drive to I-80, so a December through March discharge goes best with a spare day and a check of the Montour County forecast.

For discharge planners and case managers

Geisinger Medical Center is at 100 North Academy Avenue, and Geisinger Janet Weis Children's Hospital stands on the same campus, so one address can mean two buildings. A case manager who names the building, the floor, and the person bringing the rider out helps the pickup stay on schedule.

Danville trip questions

Which way does a trip leave Danville for Buffalo, Albany, Erie, or Boston?

Trips from Danville reach I-80 on PA-54. Buffalo, about 230 road miles, turns north on US-15 toward Corning. Erie, about 280 miles, stays on I-80 to I-79 north. Albany, about 240 miles, and Boston, about 360, go east on I-80, north on I-81, and east on I-84, where Albany turns to US-209 and I-87 and Boston continues to I-90.

Can a pickup be in Riverside, Bloomsburg, or another Susquehanna Valley town?

Yes. Riverside is directly across the river from Danville, so its trips cross the Factory Street Bridge on the way to I-80, and Bloomsburg lies east along US-11. A hillside home is easiest to plan when the request names the road, the slope of the driveway if it is steep, and any steps at the entrance.

How should a family plan for winter travel near Danville?

From December through March, ask for a departure window with room for a slow start, since winter storms can leave hill roads near the Geisinger campus slick. Keep a backup day in mind, watch the National Weather Service forecast for Montour County, and tell the coordinator early if the weather changes so the pickup time can move.
