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.

The units, which also include a full kitchen, cost families a fraction of the price they would pay for rent in the city or a hotel stay. A nearly $3 million philanthropic renovation was possible in part because of a generous donation from the Sangiacomo family, who had a loved one receive a transplant and decided to give so they could help other patients. Money for the project also came from transplant doctors and surgeons as well as other donors.
