A Place Where Everyone
Can Feel Welcome

The Helen K. Rossi Volunteer Guest House, including the University of Iowa Children's Hospital Family Suite, provides family-centered lodging and support services to families and patients far from home during their treatment.

The University of Iowa Children's Hospital Family Suite rooms primarily serve family members of patients receiving care in the Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care Units. The Adult Patient and Family Suite serves families of adult patients.

Rooms are similar to a hotel room—two beds, private bath, television and private phone with voice mail capabilities. The shared amenities include a kitchenette with food pantry, laundry facilities, and a family lounge with computer and Internet access.

Because it can be difficult to determine the length of stay, no reservations are taken. However, you may call 48 hours before a family member is admitted to reserve a space on the courtesy list.

Referrals to the Guest House are accepted from any UI Hospitals and Clinics staff, or guests may refer themselves.
