HOSTS for HOSPITALS is a unique nonprofit agency providing free lodging and support at volunteer-host homes as a caring response to the housing needs of patients and their families who come to the Greater Philadelphia area for specialized medical care. Their vision is for every patient-family in need of hospital-related lodging in the Philadelphia area to be informed about the option of staying at a host home, and, to have made available to them a host home suitable to meet the family’s specific lodging needs.
