Housing and Transportation

Housing Referral Service: (410) 614-6527

There are several temporary housing options available to cancer patients and their families while at the Kimmel Cancer Center for treatment.  Some are located within walking distance to the hospital and others are located nearby in downtown Baltimore and the surrounding area.  Some facilities will accept reservations in advance based on availability and others operate with a waiting list policy.  There are also leasing options available for those who are considering relocating to Baltimore.  

Located near the Kimmel Cancer Center, the Hackerman-Patz Patient and Family Pavilion serves as a "home away from home" for families touched by cancer.  Comprised of 29 suites and 10 apartments, this facility offers affordable temporary housing for Kimmel Cancer Center patients.  The facility brings families together and allows them to share common experiences and problems, to learn from each other, and to gain strength from knowing they do not have to face the challenges of cancer alone.

October 2009: Temporary New Guidelines

We care deeply about the health and well-being of our guests, patients, visitors, and staff members and are committed to providing the highest quality of care in a safe and welcoming environment.  Given the increased cases of H1N1 flu in children, the Pavilion is temporarily limiting the age of visitors and guests.   Children under the age of 16 are temporarily restricted from visiting or staying at the Hackerman-Patz Patient and Family Pavilion at this time.

For those traveling with children under 16, please call 1-800-225-2201 for local hotel accommodations; or call 410-614-6527 for information on short term apartment leasing options.
