If you are traveling from outside the city or simply need help getting to the Medical Center, these Houston-specific resources reduce the burden.
Jung House: An online registry that helps Houston patients find discounted lodging specifically near the Texas Medical Center. It lists hotels and apartments that offer “medical rates”.
Aishel House: Located directly in the Medical Center, they provide beautiful, discounted apartments and hot kosher meals for patients and their families, regardless of background.
Ground Transportation: If you are unable to drive to treatment, the American Cancer Society’s Road To Recovery program often has local Houston volunteers available to provide free rides to and from your appointments.
