EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
Mike Aichenbaum, founder of Hosts for Hospitals, turned his own battle with leukemia into a mission that has now supported over 4,500 patient families traveling to Philadelphia for care. Joined by one of the organization’s hosts, Rebecca Flanner, this episode highlights a simple but powerful idea: placing families in real homes—not hotels—during some of the most stressful moments of their lives.
They share how the organization works, who qualifies, and why something as small as a quiet, welcoming place to stay can completely change a family’s experience during treatment. From emotional patient stories to the logistics of matching hosts with families, this conversation sheds light on a resource that removes both financial strain and emotional isolation. If you or someone you know travels for medical care, this is an episode worth knowing about.
