About MD Anderson

MD Anderson Cancer Center has been ranked the nation's number one hospital for cancer care by U.S. News & World Report for twelve years running, most recently in the 2026-27 rankings. Patients come to it from every state and from outside the country, often for treatment that is not offered anywhere closer to home.

Why families need somewhere to stay

Much routine cancer care, including most radiation, is now given close to home. People travel to MD Anderson for what their local hospital cannot do: a second opinion, complex surgery, a clinical trial or a transplant. A first visit is often several days of scans and consultations, and surgery brings days of recovery before the drive home.

Stays are limited to two weeks, so a room stays open for the next family who needs it.

Staying near MD Anderson through a course of treatment

Most of what makes a long treatment bearable happens away from the hospital: sleeping properly, eating something familiar, and having somewhere quiet to sit at the end of the day.

Several days of appointments

A first visit can mean scans, tests and consultations on back-to-back days. A room you can leave your things in, rather than checking in and out of a hotel, makes that far easier.

A kitchen you can use

Treatment changes what a person can eat, and often what they want to eat. Our guest kitchen means you can cook to that rather than looking for a restaurant that can.

Clinical trials and repeat visits

Patients accepted into a trial travel back for evaluations and follow-up. We are glad to see the same families return, and we will remember you.

Rest for the person doing the caring

A caregiver who is not sleeping is soon no use to anyone. Every room has its own bath and a door that closes.

We are a nonprofit kept by volunteers.
