| Family members and loved ones want to be close when a person is in the hospital. Too often, that can be an extended period causing hardships for those family members. In Tulsa, a "home away from home" is available. The Hospital House of Tulsa was founded in 2004. |  |
| It provides home-like lodging, meals, prayer support and other services to more than 500 families each year. Donations and fundraising programs Hillcrest Henryetta works with the Hospital House and will be participating in a fundraiser next Saturday. The fundraiser is the Chapman Foundations Route 66 Gurney Tourney. That is a customized hospital bed race to be held at the ORU Lewis Field. Contestants try to complete the quickest time while raising money for the foundation. Henryetta team members include Brittany Nelson, Amanda Brill, Mary Fisher, Leslie Fry and Raymond Padgett. This year the goal is $40,000. A special website is set up for people to donate to the event. It can be reached here. | |
