American Cancer Society to build Hope Lodge at the Mayo Clinic
Special to the Daily Record
The American Cancer Society is preparing to develop a Hope Lodge on the Mayo Clinic campus for patients visiting Jacksonville for treatment at cancer centers.
Facility will offer cancer patients, caregivers a free place to stay during treatment. By Karen Brune Mathis Editor A “home away from home” for cancer patients is in permitting review for a site at the Mayo Clinic campus in Jacksonville. The American Cancer Society is fundraising for development of the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation Hope Lodge on land donated by Mayo Clinic. Kellie Ann Kelleher, campaign director at the society, said Monday construction should begin by year-end for completion by late 2018 or early 2019.
Kelleher, said the society raised more than $19.75 million in cash and pledges to build and operate Hope Lodge Jacksonville. It will provide lodging at no cost to caregivers and patients, age 18 and older, seeking treatment at any Kelleher cancer center in the Jacksonville area. The society says on its website that thousands of people worldwide visit Jacksonville every year to seek cancer treatment. The Jacksonville Hope Lodge is expected to provide about 12,000 free nights of
lodging each year to cancer patients and their caregivers, according to a news release in May. “When you combine mounting medical bills and interrupted employment with the expense of hotels, meals and local transportation, it can become overwhelming,” the society says. Many patients put off or forego treatment because they have no place to stay, according to the society. The city is reviewing a permit application for Brasfield & Gorrie LLC to build the 32,255-squarefoot building on 3.76 acres at 4583 Worrall Way on Hope Lodge
