The thirty American Cancer Society Hope Lodges across the
country offer cancer patients and their caregivers a free place to
stay when their best option for effective treatment may be in a
different city than their home location. The goal is to provide a
nurturing, safe, home-like environment where cancer patients can
retreat to private rooms or connect with others who are in a
similar experience. Many need to stay for extended periods of time
and have sleep-related challenges such as regulating their body
temperature. Sleep Number’s support will provide patients with
higher quality sleep at a time when they need it the most.
“Hope Lodge is a vital resource for many people during cancer
treatment. It is a home away from home and a safe habitat solution
for both patients and caregivers when needed the most. We want to
make sure they benefit from restorative sleep while at the Hope
Lodge to support their physical, mental and emotional recovery,”
said Shelly Ibach, President and CEO, Sleep Number, and Chair of
CEOs Against Cancer – Minnesota. “Supporting Hope Lodge guests with
quality sleep is an excellent example of fulfilling Sleep Number’s
purpose to improve the health and wellbeing of society. We will do
all we can to support these brave individuals as they battle
cancer, while we support American Cancer Society’s fight for a
world without cancer. Every day without cancer is a blessing.”
“We are so grateful for our partnership with Sleep Number
Corporation. Their commitment to our mission will directly help
patients and their caregivers who turn to our Hope Lodge program
for help while seeking cancer care and treatment,” said CEO
American Cancer Society and American Cancer Society Cancer Action
Network, Dr. Karen Knudsen, MBA, PhD. “We are excited that our
Minneapolis and Rochester Hope Lodge locations will be the first to
receive support to ensure the best quality sleep and allow for our
patients and caregivers to get the rest they need to focus on
getting well.”
Ibach announced Sleep Number’s commitment last evening at the
Minnesota Made Gala, an evening to benefit the American Cancer
Society. The event took place at Minneapolis’ Quincy Hall and
raised more than $430,000 to support operational costs of the
Minnesota Hope Lodges in Minneapolis and Rochester, where the
multi-year partnership will begin.
