The American Cancer Society’s Cancer Resource Network consists of three categories of resources – information, day-to-day help, and emotional support.  The Cancer Resource Network provides day-to-day help by helping ease the physical, financial, and emotional toll of cancer.  The American Cancer Society offers lodging assistance through Hope Lodge facilities across the country.  Hope Lodge provides free, temporary lodging for cancer patients and their families who must travel outside their community for treatment.  They are welcomed into a comfortable and caring environment where patients who are going through a similar experience can support one another.  In PA, we have two Hope Lodge locations – Hershey and Philadelphia.  For more information about Hope Lodge, call 1-800-227-2345 or visit www.cancer.org.  No one should have to face cancer alone.  Your American Cancer Society is here for you.
