Home Away From Home

Imagine having a loved one in the hospital with a life-threatening illness and having to travel a long distance to see them—with nowhere to stay and not a familiar face nearby. This is the reality for thousands of patients and their families who come to Spectrum Health each year. But, thanks to philanthropy, families have an affordable option. Since 1999, the Renucci Hospitality House has been a beacon of hope for more than 53,000 families from around the world.

Guests have come to the Renucci Hospitality House from every county in Michigan, every state in the U.S., and many places around the world, including Africa, Asia, Australia, Canada, Ireland, England, Mexico, Spain, Italy, Wales and more.

“I am thankful for the Renucci House. My daughter has been in and out of Helen DeVos Children’s Hospitalfor three years and every year I have been here, Renucci House has been the closest thing to home.”- The Bell Day Family

“The Renucci House is a refuge for those who need comfort, safety and rest when their family member is suffering with medical problems. Thank you to the people who work here at the Renucci House. Your love shows in all that you do. Thank you to all the churches and organizations that provide and serve meals to the guests and their families.”- Nancy Nielson
