To announce the gift, 11Methodist Healthcare Ministries (mhmstx) employees who have cancer, have survived cancer or have had a loved one diagnosed with cancer held signs that together read “$11,000,000.”
Nine thousand cancer patients travel to San Antonio every year to seek treatment, according to Methodist Healthcare Ministries, which announced Wednesday it has pledged $11 million to the American Cancer Society’s capital campaign for a San Antonio Hope Lodge.
Nationwide, more than 30 Hope Lodge communities provide more than 500,000 free nights of lodging annually, saving patients and their families more than $55 million, Fehlis said. The 40,000-square-foot Hope Lodge facility planned for San Antonio will offer 40 suites with two beds, according to Fehlis. The lodge plans to provide up to 14,600 free nights annually, representing a potential savings of $2.1 million to San Antonio cancer patients and their caregivers.
The ideal Hope Lodge candidate will be referred to stay at the lodge by their cancer treatment doctors, must live 40 miles out of San Antonio and must be an active cancer treatment patient at any San Antonio treatment facility.
