STAT medical courier in Chicago.

When it can't wait for the next run

Most healthcare deliveries can be planned. Some cannot. A specimen that needs a result before a procedure. A medication a patient needs today, not tomorrow. A supply that ran out in the middle of a clinic day. In those moments, waiting for the next scheduled pickup or a parcel carrier's window is not an option.

Professional Hauling provides STAT and rush medical courier service across Chicago and surrounding areas. A STAT delivery is our highest priority: the run is arranged to move as soon as possible, directly from pickup to destination, with the same careful handling as every other delivery we make.

What a STAT or rush delivery covers

Any item we carry on our other services can be sent as a priority run:

• Urgent lab specimens that need to reach the lab quickly for a time-sensitive result. See lab specimen transport.
• Priority medication orders from a pharmacy to a facility or a patient. See pharmaceutical delivery.
• Critical supply shortages at a clinic, office or facility. See medical supply delivery.
• Forgotten or missed items that need to catch up with a delivery that already left.

How a STAT delivery works

1. Call the 24/7 line

   Tell us what needs to move, the pickup address, the destination and when it has to arrive.

2. Priority pickup is arranged

   The run is coordinated as our top priority and a pickup time is confirmed with you.

3. Direct transport

   The item is collected and carried straight to its destination with careful, professional handling.

4. Handoff and update

   The delivery is handed to the receiving contact, and your team is kept informed.

STAT, rush and same-day: what's the difference?

The terms are often used loosely, so here is how we think about them:

• STAT means immediately. The run is arranged to move as soon as possible and takes priority over planned work.
• Rush describes an urgent delivery that needs to happen quickly, usually within a tight window you give us.
• Same-day means the delivery happens today at a coordinated time, without the urgency of a STAT run.

If you are not sure which you need, call and describe the situation. We will help you choose.
