The Mad Anthony's Children's Hope House is a not-for-profit organization. Although it is located on the Lutheran Hospital campus, it is a separate organization. Lutheran is a proud supporter of the Children's Hope House and its mission.
The Mad Anthony's Children's Hope House is a caring place for families of critically ill children. The mission of Children's Hope is to offer temporary, minimal-cost lodging to parents and families of children receiving medical care away from home; to provide families with a quiet haven during stressful times—a place of comfort, hope and emotional support; to serve families regardless of race, gender, religious or political affiliation while never turning away any family due to an inability to pay.
Children's Hope is dedicated to providing families with children in any community hospital with overnight accommodations in a family-centered, home-like, supportive environment. Six private family bedrooms with baths are available at Children's Hope, as well as shared areas including a kitchen with a fully stocked food pantry, a library with Internet access, a relaxing television lounge and laundry facilities. Children's Hope is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week to registered house guests. One full-time salaried executive director, one full-time house manager, five part-time hourly night managers and an active volunteer program keep the facility running smoothly while caring for the families.
