Patient Lodging

Because when healing is hard enough, a warm bed shouldn’t be out of reach.

When patients travel to Gillette for medical care, they’re facing long days, emotional exhaustion, and uncertainty. The last thing they should worry about is how to afford a place to sleep. That’s why the Northeast Wyoming Community Health Foundation, in partnership with Candlewood Suites, provides safe, affordable lodging for patients and their loved ones—so they can rest, recover, and focus on what matters most.

“I thank God for

the help I received from the Community Health

Foundation. I cannot express my gratitude enough,

for helping make such an emotional, scary time in

my life more manageable. Your community helped

put not only my mind at ease, but also my anxiety.

The whole experience, from the easy location and

accessibility to the most kind and compassionate

way I was treated.”

A Place to Rest,
a Moment to Breathe
