Travel and transportation
Respiratory Virus Prevention Guidelines: Patient safety is our top priority. Traveling for treatment is a decision to discuss with your care team. Some patients will need to travel for treatment. Read our visitor guidelines to prevent the spread of respiratory viruses.
If you travel by air, train or bus to our locations in Arizona, Georgia or Illinois, City of Hope may cover transportation costs for your initial evaluation and follow up appointments for some patients. Since we understand traveling alone can be difficult or stressful, we may also cover the cost for one caregiver to accompany you to your evaluation.*
If you travel by car, you may qualify for mileage reimbursement.* We offer complimentary parking at our hospitals and clinics.
Additionally, City of Hope representatives:
- Schedule your air or train travel
- Reserve your accommodations at nearby guest quarters or at a City of Hope partner hotel
- Greet you at the airport or train station and bring you to the hospital, or to your nearby lodging site
- Arrange for shuttle service including trips to and from the hospital and your hotel
* Due to federal law, this benefit is not available to Medicare patients or other patients whose health care is paid for by government insurance.
