About:
PHHH is an independent 501c3 non-profit, 30-room medical housing facility in Midtown Nashville offering overnight lodging and other supportive services to caregivers and/or any patient of any age dealing with any type of illness at any Nashville hospital. ALL ARE WELCOME (guests must have a social worker referral). All throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to date, Pinson Hospital Hospitality House has never closed even for a day, while the two other medical housing facilities in Nashville were closed. One remains closed still and the other is only at 15% capacity. We have remained open and served 933 families in 2020. In 2021, we will help over 1,000 families. PHHH helps critically-ill patients and their families who live out of town with low-cost overnight lodging and other supportive services. Statistically, over half of our guests report household incomes of less than $21,000. Over our 47-year history, we have provided over 550,000 nights of lodging, meals and other supportive services to guests who have come from all 95 counties in TN, all 50 states, and 40 foreign countries. We maintain a nightly wait list of 50-60 families. At PHHH, our guests (adults and children) are experiencing life-threatening medical issues like organ and stem cell transplants, cancer, trauma (accidents and severe burns), high-risk pregnancies, micro-preemies and newborns who require life-saving surgeries including organ transplants. Our longest stay to date was 14 months due to complications from a double lung transplant. PHHH receives no state or federal funding. We have a full non-profit profile on GivingMatters.com.
Did you know?
Our co-founder, Mickey Beazley is 95. She started PHHH 47 years ago when her son, Ricky was in a devastating car accident and suffered a traumatic brain injury and was in the hospital for many months. It was during this time, that Mickey saw many families from out of town with no ability to pay for a hotel room sleep in waiting rooms and in their cars, with nowhere to bathe. Mickey and her sister-in-law Ann Krenson spent 2 years planning for the opening of a home away from home for caregivers and patients. PHHH is the first medical housing facility in the country, even preceding Ronald McDonald Houses. Now there are thousands of low-cost medical housing facilities nationwide. With an operating budget of $868,000, PHHH operates with a small staff of 6. Most houses with a similar budget and size have twice the staff.
How will funds be used?
All funds from fundraising events, grant and foundation funding, and income from private donors and corporations is all appropriated as income used for our operating budget.
