Saint Anthony Hospital has been awarded the City of Chicago Climate Infrastructure Grant, which will allow for four new electric vehicles and charging stations for the hospital’s transportation service. With rising costs in automobiles, gas, and rideshare programs, Saint Anthony Hospital offers a free pick-up and drop-off service to its patients. Located at 2875 W. 19th Street in Little Village, Saint Anthony Hospital has been providing care for underserved communities for more than a century and makes healthcare available to all. Now with this grant, Saint Anthony Hospital will be able to invest in new electric vehicles to provide an environmentally friendly transportation experience for its patients. Pediatric Transportation Certified, Saint Anthony Hospital’s transportation team is available for children, seniors, and anyone and anywhere that needs a ride to or home from the hospital or any of its six community clinics around the city. This service will be one of many future energy efficient efforts made by Saint Anthony Hospital as it transitions to the new Focal Point Community Campus, scheduled to open in 2026 at 31st and Kedzie. Anchored by the new hospital, Focal Point will be a multi-use sustainable campus designed to provide access and opportunity for wellness, education, workforce development, living space and more.
