Welcome to the AstraZeneca Hope Lodge Center in Boston!

Five years ago, the American Cancer Society, New England Division, embarked on a capital campaign to build the first ever Hope Lodge in Boston, where cancer patients traveling more than 40 miles to Boston for outpatient treatment could stay for free.

Take the challenge!

Thanks to our generous donors, our dream is almost complete. $500,000 remains to be raised to meet our $27 million goal for this project. To help put us over the top, a generous Massachusetts family is putting forth a $300,000 challenge grant. For each gift or pledge of $250,000, which must be paid within 5 years, a gift of $50,000 will be applied by the family. Pledges can be combined to add up to $250,000 so all gifts of any size will help the challenge.

Fighting cancer is hard. Finding help shouldn't be.
For many, treatment at medical centers in Boston offers the greatest hope of beating their cancer. However, we know that the cost of traveling far from home and then facing the expense of hotels, meals, and transportation, can make that option prohibitive for many. That's why building a 'home away from home' in Boston for cancer patients has been a goal of the New England Division.

Thanks to a $7-million naming gift from AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP, the Lodge opened two years earlier than originally scheduled. The first guests to the facility at 125 S. Huntington Ave., in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, arrived the second week of November 2008.

Quality care includes more than just excellent medicine
Getting emotional and social support from other survivors can be as important as getting the proper medical care. At the Lodge, patients live with other people going through similar experiences, and are supported by caring staff and volunteers. The nurturing, comfortable environment at Hope Lodge allows guests to focus on what is most important - fighting cancer.
