Children’s Hospital
Since 2010 Jessa’s Quest has donated several thousand dollars to the Children’s Hospital. Money has been used to provide a Respite Suite on the 12th floor Neuro Oncology to be used primarily for a patient that is terminally ill. The room is furnished with comfortable furniture including a wider bed so a family member can rest with patient when needed. There is a private meeting room to discuss with medical staff or need a private moment themselves and other provisions for privacy. A Jessa’s Quest blanket is provided to each family that requires the use of the suite.
