Hosts for Hospitals program is in the Philadelphia area. Several LLMDs are within driving distance to Philadelphia; this program could benefit many Lyme patients.
PHILADELPHIA'S HOSTS FOR HOSPITALS PROGRAM
Our Purpose...
is to provide free lodging and support at volunteer-host homes as a caring response to the housing needs of patients and their families who come to the Greater Philadelphia area for specialized medical care.
Each year, thousands of people travel to the Philadelphia area seeking medical care. Almost every patient has someone travel along to provide support. Often these people, and even the patients themselves, arrive in desperate need of convenient, inexpensive lodging.
Hosts for Hospitals meets their needs through our network of volunter host homes. Our hosts are caring people who provide a place to sleep and a feeling of home. Guests are able to return to the hospital each day refreshed and thus able to best offer support to their loved one.
I learned that patients traveling for the evaluation and treatment of Lyme disease qualify for staying at the Ronald McDonald House. They serve inpatients and outpatients. Lodging, parking, and meals are included at the RMCH.
