'We believe your zip code shouldn't control your health outcomes' This health care access vision is one of the main reasons why I chose to join the Hospitality House Board of Directors just over a year ago. Because while all of us locally can benefit from the growth of Charlotte as a regional, national, and global health care services destination, some in our community are limited in their ability to do so. Although medical insurance may cover the costs associated with organ transplant, cancer treatment, and other major medical procedures, it does not cover the costs of housing for people who travel to Charlotte to receive their life-saving or life-sustaining treatments. Or the cost for family members, friends, or care-givers that need to stay with them. These costs fall to the families and people who need specialty care...$200-$400 a night in a hotel near hospital facilities really adds up for people needing weeks of post-operative care. This need is most pronounced for people coming to Charlotte from rural or outlying locations who have no family or friends here that could be helpful. This is where Hospitality House steps in...and the need is clearly evident (please read the post below describing recent full occupancy trends the House is now experiencing). Providing patients and their care-givers with some sense of normalcy during a traumatic time in their lives is a labor of love. A private room, public space where they can engage with others going through similar 'away from home' recovery emotions, food and social connections if they so desire. All at extremely low or no cost for the duration of the time they need to heal. These services, provided by a caring and engaged team of house professionals, are essential to the physical, emotional, and mental recovery of people in need. The demand for these patient services continues to grow as the quality of care and types of expertise in Charlotte grow. With a large family of my own here, I know we are blessed to have access to such leading medical care options. And through the work HHOC leads, I committed to help make them more available to people in need. I'm proud to be associated with this organization, and inspired by the community leadership that CEO Angie Bush and her team demonstrate everyday. If you are so inclined, stop by the House for a tour, or consider a gift to help support this worthwhile mission as part of your giving strategy. The need is real, and the mission is dependent on the generous spirit that Charlotte has shown since we moved here in 1992.

🌟 DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT – Together, we can make a life-saving difference! 🌟 Donate now to the Lights for Lifeline WA Christmas Appeal, and have your gift matched dollar for dollar. WHY THIS MATTERS: 💔 1 in 6 people have serious thoughts about ending their own lives. 💔 More than one West Australian dies by suicide every single day. 💡 It costs just $39 to hold a potentially life-saving conversation with someone in crisis. 💡 It costs $4,000 to train a Crisis Supporter to provide compassionate, expert support. 💪 Last year, Lifeline WA held over 130,000 conversations with people seeking help, and they’re aiming to answer over 150,000 calls for help in the year ahead. But they can’t do it alone. Lifeline WA relies on generous support from people like you to continue their vital work – and the festive season is one of the most critical times of the year. HOW YOU CAN HELP: From now until 31 December 2024, every dollar donated to my fundraiser will be matched dollar-for-dollar – doubling the impact of your generosity! 🔗 Donate now: https://lnkd.in/gvBtE8-a 💙 Whether it’s $100, $200, $500, $1,000, $5,000 or more, we will match your gift and directly support Lifeline WA's essential service. OUR GOAL: We’ve set an audacious target of $100,000 and I know we can achieve it together. Let’s ensure more calls are answered, more lives are supported, and more Crisis Supporters are trained. Together, we can change – and save – lives.
