This facility was made possible by the generosity of a caring Minot family. The aim of the donors was to provide families a place where they can rest and relax in peace, knowing that their hospitalized loved ones are only a few steps away. That vision has been realized in this facility located on Main Street across from the hospital. The Guest House offers a comfortable place for family members of patients to stay. This past fiscal year (July 1, 2019 - June 30, 2020) we had 621 families utilize the Guest House from 34 different states, four Canadian provinces, and Bosnia-Herzegovina!

One of the guests shared these comments with us: “My wife’s leg surgery went very well, and this facility allowed me to stay ‘out of the staff's way’ but remain conveniently close.” The couple also praised Judy, our facility manager, “Judy, you are a most gracious host. You and this facility reflect positively upon the care and professionalism of our overall Trinity Hospital experience!” —LJ
