The Family House

The Family House is located on Ramsey Avenue within walking distance of Three Rivers Community Hospital.  The 7,400 square foot facility opened its doors in the spring of 2008.  This is a temporary guest residence for out-of-town patients and family members of those receiving care at Three Rivers. 

 

Extending a culture of caring outside the walls of the hospital, the mission of the Family House is to provide an affordable, accessible, supportive homelike setting where healing can take place. People from across the Three Rivers Community Hospital service area, who are facing serious illness, will have a supportive, temporary home without worry of cost or concern about the rigors of unnecesssary travel.

The Asante Foundation at Three Rivers Community Hospital, in collaboration with the Grants Pass Association of Realtors (GPAR), has been working together on a campaign for funds to build the Family House.  But even once the Family House is open, ongoing donations will be important.
