Long-Distance Medical Transportin Marshfield, Wisconsin
US-10 runs as a freeway along the south and west sides of Marshfield, WI-13 follows Veterans Parkway through the city, and WI-97 follows North Central Avenue to its end at WI-13 in the middle of town. Heading east, US-10 reaches Stevens Point and I-39 in about 36 miles, and WI-13 leads north to Abbotsford. A planned trip may stay in Wood County, run south on I-39 toward Madison and Chicago, or continue to Minnesota or the Upper Peninsula.
Planning medical transport to or from Marshfield, Wisconsin
A pickup near Central Avenue downtown starts on different streets than one on the hospital campus along Saint Joseph Avenue or at a farm on a Wood County road. Hewitt, Auburndale, Spencer, and Stratford are separate villages with their own county roads to US-10 or WI-13.
Tell Eastern Royal Medical Transport whether the Marshfield pickup is in town, at a farmhouse on a county road, or in a nearby village, and share the travel day, the entrance or ramp at each end, and who will meet the vehicle. Snow averages about 57 inches a year, and that season is weighed against the travel date. Trips to Rockford and Chicago use US-10 and I-39.
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.

Marshfield averages about 57 inches of snow a year, most of it from December through March, and January nights average near 6 degrees. Trips south run 36 miles east on US-10 to I-39 at Stevens Point, so check conditions along that stretch as well as in town.
For discharge planners and case managers
Marshfield Medical Center and Marshfield Children's Hospital share one address, 611 North Saint Joseph Avenue, so the discharge plan should name the unit as well as the hospital. The medical center posts maps of its entrances and parking, so ask the discharge team which entrance the rider will use.
Marshfield trip questions
Can a rider from Marshfield go to family in Rockford, Chicago, Des Moines, or Marquette?
Yes. From Marshfield, Rockford is about 210 road miles, Marquette about 250, Chicago about 290, and Des Moines about 360. Rockford and Chicago trips run east on US-10 to I-39 at Stevens Point and then south, while Des Moines trips head west and cross Minnesota on the way to I-35.
Can the pickup be in Spencer, Stratford, Auburndale, or a farm outside town?
Yes. Hewitt lies about 4 road miles southeast of the center, Spencer about 7 miles northwest, Auburndale about 7 miles east, and Stratford about 12 miles northeast. For a farm on a county road, send the road name, a nearby landmark, and whether the driveway is long or unplowed.
How does winter affect a trip that starts on a county road near Marshfield?
About 46 of the 57 inches of yearly snow fall from December through March, so the county road between a farm or village and US-10 or WI-13 is the first stretch to plan. Trips south use US-10 and I-39, and trips north follow WI-13 toward Abbotsford. Keep a backup travel date in that season.
