OUR GOAL Our goal is to build and sustain free housing that will support patients and their families in North Central Montana. For many years, there has been a great need in our community for patient housing while receiving outpatient treatment. A patient housing facility has become our top priority.

Lewistown Resident's Battle with Breast Cancer by Helen Johnson

Dealing with cancer can really take its toll on a person and their family but even more so when you live outside of Great Falls.  My name is Helen Johnson and I am from Lewistown, Montana, which is almost two hours outside of Great Falls. I have experienced the stress of traveling for treatment first hand as I battle breast cancer. I am lucky I am usually able to manage my appointments and treatments at the Great Falls Clinic Cancer Care department by getting a ride to town from a friend or family. But sometimes treatments and/or tests require an overnight stay and that is a struggle for me. In early July, I was in this situation and thankfully the Great Falls Clinic Legacy Foundation was able to arrange and cover my hotel room. This was no cost to me but I understand this is not always an option due to the limited funding available.  Having a place to stay for patients would be one less thing we would have to worry about. What a relief it will be to know that there will be a place to stay right next door to the Cancer Care Center for out-of-town patients like me. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this proposed housing facility - my family and I can't thank you enough.
