Gabriel House of Care is an extended-stay hospital hospitality house that offers affordable, temporary lodging to adult organ transplant and cancer patients coming to our area for extended medical treatment. Gabriel House provides affordable lodging and supportive Integrative medicine programs in a community environment. Located on the west campus of Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, we are close to the beaches and to Town Center. The average stay of guests is 6 weeks for cancer patients and often up to one year for transplant patients so the house becomes their source of emotional support throughout their journey. We have served over 5000 patients and caregivers since opening in 2011. Gabriel House is an independent non profit organization supported by donations from individuals, businesses, civic and faith organizations as well as corporate and foundation grants.

Impact: Patients utilize our restaurants, stores, go to our attractions and contribute to the medical tourism in North East Florida. And often move here to be near their medical centers for continued medical care.
