The Gene and Jerry Jones Family Hope Lodge is on Schedule for Spring 2021
While COVID-19 has impacted countless lives, businesses and plans, it is incapable of diluting our commitment to caring for our patients—including those battling cancer.
Progress continues to be made at the American Cancer Society Gene and Jerry Jones Family Hope Lodge, located on property donated by Baylor Scott & White Health in Dallas.
Despite unforeseen challenges due to COVID-19, construction has remained at a steady pace. and the building was “topped off”—completing the framing structure—in May. The project is on track to be completed in February 2021, and in spring 2021 will open its doors to offer cancer patients and their caregivers a home away from home when they travel to receive care from any of North Texas’ premier medical centers. The Gene and Jerry Jones Family Hope Lodge is expected to provide more than 18,000 nights of free lodging annually, helping the thousands of cancer patients who travel each year from throughout the region to receive potentially lifesaving cancer treatment in North Texas.
Often, patients and their families spend days, weeks, even months away from home. The emotional and financial toll of the loss of income, medical bills, hotel rooms and dining out can be staggering.
Thanks to extraordinary support from generous individuals and organizations, more than $32 million has been raised to date for this project.
