Lodging During Treatment
Lodging During Heart Surgery, Cancer Treatment, or a High-Risk Pregnancy at Saint Joseph
Intermountain Health Saint Joseph Hospital, in Denver's Uptown neighborhood, is known for advanced heart surgery, complex cancer care, and high-risk obstetrics. Denver Mennonite Guest Home is about 35 minutes away, giving families an affordable place to stay through what are often multi-week treatments.
Heart & vascular surgery
Open-heart and vascular procedures are followed by careful recovery in the ICU and step-down units. Staying nearby lets family be present each day without the cost of weeks in a hotel.
Cancer treatment
Chemotherapy and radiation often run in cycles over several weeks. A full kitchen lets families cook familiar meals, and we can extend stays beyond our usual two weeks by arrangement.
High-risk pregnancy
Mothers on extended monitoring or bed rest — and the partners supporting them — need a comfortable place close to the hospital's maternal-fetal medicine team.
A restful base
Private rooms, private bathrooms, on-site laundry, and a wheelchair-accessible home — at a suggested donation of $50 per night.
As a Mennonite nonprofit, we keep the suggested donation at $50 per night, with no one turned away — so families can focus on their loved one's care, not on lodging costs.
