THE NATION’S

FIRST hospital hospitality house

T H E K E V I N G U E S T H O U S E S T O R Y

Kevin Guest House is the nation’s first hospital hospitality house. Since 1972, it has been a home-away-from-home for patients and families traveling great distances to receive state of the art health care and treatment in Buffalo area hospitals and medi-cal centers. Three homes, comprising eleven bedrooms, five bathrooms and various dining and living common areas, provide sanctuary for those in need of affordable shelter during medical crises. Over 52,000 guests have stayed at Kevin Guest House since its inception, mostly originating from Western New York, but also including guests from 49 states, Canada, and eleven other countries.

Kevin Guest House was founded by Claudia and Cyril Garvey, whose son, Kevin Garvey, passed away in January 1972 at the age of 13 after an eighteen month fight against leukemia. During his treatment at Roswell Park Cancer Institute, the Garveys became aware of many other families, traveling for the care of a child, that were unable to find affordable lodging. Shortly before Kevin’s death, Mr. and Mrs. Garvey purchased the property located at 782 Ellicott Street, next to Roswell Park and Buffalo General Hospital; formed a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with like-minded individuals; and renovated the house with the support of volunteers and donations from the community so that Kevin Guest House welcomed their first guest on July 26, 1972.

In addition to our main house, we offer four transplant recovery apartments, the only of their kind in Buffalo, for patients and their care-givers. These fully functional apartments allow bone marrow and other transplant patients an environmentally safe place to recover that is within the required distance to their medical facility. Sometimes these patients are required to stay 100 days or more within 30 minutes of their medical facility for monitoring and testing.

With the help of our generous community of donors and supporters, we are able to continue our mission of serving those in need.

In order to continue to provide the highest quality of service to the most families and

patients in need well into the future, Kevin Guest House is expanding next door to

766 Ellicott Street.

This home will increase our capacity so that we are not turning families away. Each

year we host an average of 1,200 individuals, but unfortunately have to turn

away nearly 400 people. By expanding to 766 Ellicott Street, we will double our oc-

cupancy and reduce our wait list.

Kevin Guest House seeks to raise $3,000,000 to support building costs, expand

our endowment program to sustain the house and augment the resulting budget

increase for operating a larger facility. The generosity of friends like you will help us

be prepared for this growth and literally pay it forward for the next generation of

families needing services in our community.

THE CAMPAIGN FOR KEVIN GUEST HOUSEIn order to continue to provide the highest quality of service to the most families and patients in need well into the future, the board approved a plan in April 2015 for the renovation of 766 Ellicott, located immediately to the left and contiguous to our campus and our existing Carriage House at 788 ½ Ellicott St.

This neighboring building will be renovated to fit the same needs as our previous expansion plans and allow for the continuation of services during construction. The 1868 Carriage House is in its 20th year as a transplant recovery apartment, is ready for an update to allow us to respond to the growing demand for our services on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. Lastly, our main house will be retrofit with a handicap access ramp for our check-in area.

MAINTAIN OUR MISSION: This home will preserve our ability to serve the community’s major health care institutions and a greater number of guests. This will enable us to maintain consistency with our core mission.

INCREASE CAPACITY: It will increase our capacity so that we are not turning families away. Currently our total capacity averages 1,200 individuals annually. The new facility will allow us to double that occupancy and reduce our wait list which on average we turn away 400 guests each year.

HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE: Additionally, 766 Ellicott building will be equipped with an elevator, the expansion will allow us to serve handicap individuals for the first time and will reduce or eliminate our unable to serve list.

COMFORT & DIGNITY: Each new guest room will have adjoining private baths and options for larger families to stay with us. There will also be a private consultation area for families needing to discuss financial assistance opportunities.

ENCOURAGE GUEST INTERACTION: A multipurpose room will serve as a meeting place for guests, allow us to provide more space for guest/organization meetings, areas for guest to work away from home and a kitchenette to encourage interaction between guests who are undergoing similar situations.

To accomplish this, Kevin Guest House seeks to raise $3,000,000 to support building costs, expand our endowment program to sustain the house and augment the resulting budget increase for operating a larger facility. The timing of this expansion is critical for Kevin Guest House as we prepare for the demand the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus is creating in our area. We will need generous friends like you to help us be prepared for this growth and literally pay it forward for the next generation of families needing services in our community.
