The high cost of hotel stays and rent in San Francisco makes it challenging for transplant patients from out of town to stay close to the hospital after recovering from a procedure. Recently renovated apartments this spring near Sutter's CPMC Pacific Heights Outpatient Campus better accommodate their needs thanks to a multi-million dollar gift.

"It made me feel really safe and really comfortable knowing that I was so close to any care that I would need," said Ethan Miguel, 28, a recent transplant patient from Davis. "I think this resource is so special and I think it's what makes the Sutter transplant team so amazing is that they do offer something like this for people that do live further away."

Miguel needed a convenient place to stay for 30 days after his surgery to complete his recovery close to the campus. The renovated apartments include a modified shower without a tub to make it easier for a patient like him to get in and out, along with a special bed that operates like a hospital bed.
