The Gene and Jerry Jones Family Hope Lodge will be built on property donated by Baylor Scott and White Health near its Baylor University Medical Center campus. The lodge will help serve the thousands of cancer patients who travel to the region for cancer treatment they can't get in their home town, often spending weeks or months away from home. In addition to the inconveniences of being stuck in a hotel or imposing on friends and family, the costs of dining out, hotel rooms are only compounded by the medical bills that accompany cancer treatment.
