Helping Families During Trying Times<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, Kathy\u2019s House opened a new facility with the capacity to serve more guests and the intentional design to serve them better than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vision for the national model in hospital guest housing was the basis for the creation of our newly constructed, 38-room home, footsteps from Froedtert Hospital on the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center Campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we continue to grow in our new facility, the data on this page is a testament to the impact we are having on families who need to travel to Milwaukee for medical treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Family Program for Patients & Caregivers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Family Program for Patients and Caregivers ensures that every family facing a medical crisis, including those in financial hardship, can access needed healthcare and stay together during medical treatments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actual cost of a one-night stay at Kathy\u2019s House is $90. We ask our guests to contribute a minimum of $50 per night toward the cost of their stays (and only $30 per night after 30 days). It is our goal, however, not to turn anyone away due to the inability to pay. Only through donations to our Family Program for Patients and Caregivers is this outcome possible as 75% of the families we serve cannot pay the actual cost of their stays. In fact, 10% of families cannot contribute anything toward the cost of their stays at Kathy’s House.<\/p>\n\n\n
