Hope Lodge®
American Cancer Society Hope Lodge® communities offer a home away from home for people facing cancer and their caregivers when cancer treatment is far away.
There's no place like Hope Lodge®
Each year, 200,000 people travel 40+ miles to receive the cancer treatment they desperately need, and this number is growing. With a typical cancer regimen of surgery and radiation lasting six to eight weeks, travel often skyrockets the cost of care. Lodging alone can cost up to $17,000.
People who live in rural communities, or in cities that lack a high-quality cancer center, do not have the same access to care as those who live near a major cancer center or those who can afford to temporarily relocate to seek care.
This can prevent people from taking part in clinical trials or even cause them to miss important treatments.
American Cancer Society Hope Lodge® communities help people facing cancer access vital treatment when they need it most. Currently the Hope Lodge program offers 1,100 rooms at 31 Hope Lodge locations in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Hope Lodge communities provide a free place to stay during treatment so people with cancer can focus on getting better.
Hope Lodge® is more than just a room, more than just a space for me to stay. It was, and it still is, relief to my heart and to my soul.

The Future of Hope Lodge®
Capital Campaign in Progress
Conveniently located near cancer treatment centers in the South Texas Medical Center, the Hope Lodge® community in San Antonio will offer 40 private guest suites with the comforts of home at no cost to patients and their families. Transportation to and from local cancer treatment centers will also be provided. The approximately 40,000 square-foot facility will provide up to 14,600 nights of free lodging each year, saving patients and their caregivers an estimated $2 million per year in lodging costs alone.
