Hope In The Intermountain West

There are currently 31 Hope Lodges across the country serving the lodging needs of adult cancer patients. The Salt Lake Hope Lodge will be the first to serve the Intermountain West.

The Hope Lodge provides a nurturing home away from home where guests can retreat to private rooms or connect with others. The Lodge will also house the American Cancer Society, so it will be replete with resources and information about cancer and how best to fight and cope with the disease.
