Travel and Housing Solutions for MD Anderson’s International Patients

Every year, hundreds of international patients register for treatment at Houston’s MD Anderson hospital. It’s easy to understand why. The medical center has a world-renowned reputation for being the best at treating cancer. Its innovative approach to treating cancer saves hundreds of lives every year.

But, along with trying to overcome a life-threatening disease, international patients have unique concerns apart from their treatment.

Translation Services and Travel Arrangements for MD Anderson

Traveling to a different country is challenging all on its own. Throw language barriers into the mix and difficulties adjusting to a different culture, and it can be a tough transition. Your cancer journey should be focused on getting better.

Thankfully, MD Anderson’s medical tourism platform can help make the transition easier as you navigate your way through its medical center. This is invaluable when you’re bouncing from one specialist and treatment to another. The representative assigned to you will even help with your travel arrangements and assist with your visa.

Perhaps most importantly, once you’re on the ground in Houston, the hospital acts as a liason between you and interpreters that will translate conversations between you and your medical team. MD Anderson will arrange for interpreters that speak several languages, including:

• Spanish

• French

• Arabic

• Mandarin

• Vietnamese

If your language isn’t listed above, MD Anderson may still have an interpreter that can help. But, the hospital asks for a 24-hour notice to make arrangements. In addition to foreign language translations, the medical campus will also provide a certified interpreter for American sign language.

Housing Solutions for MD Anderson Patients

Now that you can feel more at ease about the actual logistics of your trip to Houston and being able to communicate effectively with your cancer care team, perhaps you can focus on lodging. Cancer patients are rarely in the medical center as in-patients, unless there are unique circumstances.

Normally, you go to MD Anderson for testing and treatment, then you’re released in the evening to your place of rest. Which begs the question, ‘Where will you stay at night?’ What type of place do you want to be your home away from home?

Sure, you can choose a cramped apartment or a hotel. But neither of these will give you the rest you need. You could be facing six months or more of intensive treatment to help eradicate your cancer.

Most of MD Anderson’s patients find a short-term luxury home to be the best solution. Then they’re able to live life more normally and relax and unwind in between treatments.

What is a Short-Term Luxury Home?

Three words: Amenities, Comfort, and Value. A traditional hotel rental is simply a room with four walls and a bathroom. There’s no place to truly kick back and relax. It’s impersonal and doesn’t feel like a home.

You can’t stock your own fridge or pantry with the types of food you like. There’s no living room furniture that’s accommodating enough to allow you room to breathe. It’s just a hotel room. Plus, when you’re facing a minimum of three months of accommodations, you’ll end up paying a lot of money for something that’s nothing like home.

On the other hand, a short-term luxury home is a fully-furnished, spacious, modern single-family home with several times the space of a hotel. There’s a top-of-the-line media room, your own full-sized fridge, luxurious accommodations, and more. You can even rent a home with a pool if you want.

Short-term luxury homes are located in upscale neighborhoods near MD Anderson. Plus, with the right company, there are concierge services that can help with finding restaurants and services that will make your stay even more pleasant. And, taking all of that into consideration, it’s the best value for your money.

When you’re at the hospital for cancer treatment day in and day out, you want a place that feels like your own home, even if it’s just temporary.

A short-term luxury home is the answer.
