Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 618 | Do you know where you will be staying? There is a patient help center on the first floor of Hillmans doctors office tower that can help you. I stay at the shadyside inn % suites which has a discount rate for hospital patients and offers one and two bedroom suites wity kitchens. They are very nice and only a few blocks from the hospital. There are a lot of shops and resturaunts around the corner.
Nocam also was treated there and found a free place that I think was offered by the american cancer sosiety. He said that place was aso nice and close by.
