Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Hospitality House of Charlotte (HHOC) envisions access to health for all. Our low-cost accommodations in close proximity to Charlotte's world-class medical facilities provide a bridge between healthcare and home. Geographic location often impacts access to healthcare and remains a prioritized social determinant of health. The vast majority of patients who utilize HHOC's services reside in rural communities where hospital closures have risen since 2010. Without access to medically necessary care in their home towns, patients must travel to more urban areas and face the high costs of hotel lodging or travel frequently back and forth.

Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Overnight Lodging Program

Patients and their caregivers are referred to the Overnight Lodging Program by Charlotte-area hospitals where they are receiving treatment. Patients can be of any age and from any location and are welcome to stay at Hospitality House for as long as their active treatment requires. Located in close proximity to both Atrium Health and Novant Health, our 20-bedroom facility provides guests with convenient access to medical care while a low nightly rate offsets thousands of dollars in lodging fees. For a nominal fee of $50 per night, guests have access to a private room and restroom as well as shared amenities including laundry, a kitchen with commercial appliances, pantry items, parking, Wi-Fi, and hospital shuttle services.

Population(s) Served
People with diseases and illnesses
Caregivers

When overnight lodging is unavailable due to capacity limitations, the Day Guest Program is offered to guests on the waitlist for a room. The program allows patients or caregivers to schedule a 2-hour visit to use Hospitality House's amenities free of charge. The visit includes access to a private shower and laundry room, and allows guests to utilize the communal kitchen.

Population(s) Served
Caregivers
Families

The Guest Assistance Program underwrites the cost of overnight lodging fees and included amenities for up to five nights for qualifying families. Families are qualified through Operations staff at Hospitality House of Charlotte by a formal application process. This program helps ensure no patient is turned away due to financial restrictions.

Charting impact

Hospitality House of Charlotte's mission has remained unchanged, and we continuously strive to ease the stresses and financial burdens associated with medical crises and contribute to equitable access to healthcare.

Strong partnerships with senior members at Atrium Health and Novant Health ensure that we are meeting the needs of the hospitals and their patients.

HHOC has enacted a comprehensive, three-year development plan addressing strategic and philanthropic financial goals, communication strategies, staff and volunteer resources, and timelines. Current priorities include donor retention, cultivating donor relationships, and increasing visibility in alignment with HHOC’s strategic plan objectives to ensure financial stability and viability and provide for fundamental guest needs.

Additionally, HHOC aims to reduce stress levels for its guests and improve patient outcomes. We measure our success by data collected through post-stay guest surveys weighed against national standards.
