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 could 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 that is located on Main Street across from the hospital. The Guest House offers a comfortable place for family members of patients to stay. During the past fiscal year (July 1, 2018 - June 30, 2019), 791 families from 30 different states and 3 Canadian provinces utilized the Guest House.

One of the guests shared these comments with us: “It was a big relief to have a place to stay close to the hospital that didn’t leave us financially depleted. The hospital is very lucky to have you.” The couple also praised Judy, our facility manager, “My husband and I appreciate the service you have dedicated your time to helping people in a time of difficulty.” —T&C A
