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.

We stay at home and drive each day because we are about 25 miles from shadyside I actually never thought to stay close to the hospital.
