Healthcare Hospitality Houses
Resource Details
Healthcare Hospitality Houses (HHH) provide lodging at significantly reduced costs to patients and their caregivers while receiving life saving medical care away from their home communities. While hotels serve guests traveling for many different reasons including business, holiday, reunions, conferences, and so on, Healthcare Hospitality Houses provide an environment created specifically to support patients and their caregivers dealing with healthcare issues. By creating a welcoming and communal space for those going through similar stressful situations, a sense of community is created where patients and caregivers can support one another. Most Healthcare Hospitality Houses have shared kitchens, common living areas and private bedrooms and bathrooms that create a feeling of a home-away-from-home and a safe place to land each day. Healthcare Hospitality Houses help alleviate the financial burden often associated with medical crises and have shown to reduce stress on both the patient and family members.
