To stay at the Hope Lodge, you must be referred by your Charleston-area physician or health care professional. The Hope Lodge staff will put your name on our waiting list. It is advisable to initiate the referral process well in advance of the first date of treatment as patients are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. After the initial referral is received from a patient's medical team, room assignments are centrally controlled by our referral coordinator, Priscilla Hancock. She can be reached at 1-800-304-0779 ext.17 or at 302-324-4227.
