The American Cancer Society Hope Lodge is a FREE service for cancer patients and 1 caregiver, both over 18, traveling to Memphis for cancer treatment.
At the Hope Lodge, we understand that undergoing treatment for cancer can be both financially and emotionally overwhelming. For many, treatment at Memphis-area medical centers provides the greatest hope, but requires that they are far from home, adding the additional burden of travel and lodging expenses. That is why the American Cancer Society Harrah's Hope Lodge will offer lodging at no cost for adult cancer patients being treated in the Memphis area beginning in late November 2010.
Getting emotional and social support from other survivors can be as important as getting the proper medical care. At the Hope Lodge, patients live with other people going through similar experiences, and are supported by caring staff and volunteers. The nurturing, comfortable environment at Hope Lodge allows patients to focus on what is most important - fighting cancer.
