Thanks to a partnership with the Holiday Inn-Morgantown, a new program will dedicate hotel rooms and accommodations to offer supportive housing for families and visitors of patients undergoing a procedure or treatment at Mon Health Medical Center. The program kicked off in early November and will run through April 1.
“We understand travelling for a loved one’s medical care comes with its own set of challenges,” said Mark Gilliam, Mon Health Medical Center chief administrative officer. “That’s why we want to provide an option for out-of-area families who need a place to stay while they remain focused on their loved one’s health.”
Handicap rooms are also available upon request.
“When a serious illness or injury strikes, staying close to family is important,” said Jeff Albrecht, owner/operator of the Holiday Inn. “Not having a place to stay adds stress to families who are already coping with sometimes life-threatening changes and we are happy to offer support however we can.”
