Welcome to the Friendship Inn. (click to view video provided by Public Relations at The University of Kansas Health System)
Our mission is to be a “home away from home” for families of patients at The University of Kansas Health System. Although not free, accommodations are affordable, and no family in need is turned away.
When a family member is diagnosed with a serious illness or an unexpected trauma, families can face emotional distress, financial strains and many other challenges. In addition to attending to the complicated medical needs, families need a “home away from home” to help keep them relax, care for other children or other family members, and keep up with out-of-pocket expenses. Because of the Friendship Inn, families are not forced to spend their days and nights in waiting rooms or in the isolation of expensive hotel rooms. Instead, they come to our Inn and find a friendly face, a comfortable bed, a hot shower and a calming place to rejuvenate.
