SON Foundation

Mission

Every day, many cancer center patients come from outside Indianapolis for cancer treatments. These patients are in town for multiple days receiving treatments and often their family members want to be present for comfort and support. These patients and/or their caregivers are confronted with many care and treatment decisions. Often underestimated during this time are the financial burdens associated with a family member's illness or injury - the added expense of travel, food, lodging, out-of-pocket medical expenses, and the possibility of loss or reduction in wages.

Lodging can be difficult to afford when a family member must be in treatment for an extended time. The SON Foundation Hospitality House is meeting this basic need by accommodating the patients, primary caregivers and/or family members. These accommodations are available to any patient, caregiver and/or family regardless of religious affiliation.
