Since opening in 2000, Hope Lodge Kansas City has benefitted our community by helping save thousands of lives and millions of dollars for cancer patients and their families. The Hope Lodge program provides free, safe, comfortable, and convenient lodging for patients, when traveling for treatment becomes necessary. Hope Lodge Kansas City helps patients overcome the financial, physical, and emotional challenges of cancer by providing free accommodations with all the comforts of home.
When someone walks through the doors of a Hope Lodge community, they find more than just a place to stay, they find comfort and community at a time when it matters most.
On September 25, the American Cancer Society celebrated the grand reopening and renaming of the Hope Lodge community in Kansas City. The ribbon cutting ceremony for the American Cancer Society Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation Hope Lodge Kansas City marked the completion of a transformative $7 million renovation designed to enhance comfort and improve access to care for cancer patients traveling to Kansas City for treatment.
Renovations to the 32,000-square-foot facility include eight new kitchens pods; a new dining and living area; administrative areas for staff, which include guest welcome and check-in areas and meeting rooms; new water heaters; a revamped movie room; a new meditation room; an updated gym; and updated guest rooms, which include new packaged terminal air conditioner units. The Kansas City community now boasts 42 private rooms, each with its own bath, and offers free transportation to nearby cancer treatment centers.
