Patient and Family Support Program

SECU Family House provides affordable, supportive housing to UNC Hospitals adult patients and their family members/caregivers who must travel far from home to receive life-saving medical treatment here.

We provide 75 private en-suite bedrooms to patients (and caregivers) receiving treatment for cancer, stem cell or organ transplant, burns, trauma, surgery, neurological disorders, and other critical care.

Guests pay a discounted rate of $46/night to stay at Family House. The guest room fee includes bus service to and from UNC Hospitals, laundry facilities, snacks, and access to a library with Internet resources. Staying at SECU Family House offers something even more significant: a nurturing and compassionate community, including a free hot meal, almost daily and therapeutic activities.

Family House receives no operating funds from federal, state, or municipal agencies. We depend on individuals, local businesses, corporate and foundation grants for the bulk of our funding.
