MARQUETTE, Mich. (WJMN) – When you walk through the doors of the Steve Mariucci Family Beacon House, it’s probably for an unfortunate reason. “A lot of people have heard of Ronald McDonald Houses where families will stay when a child has a serious illness and is near a children’s hospital,” said Mary Tavernini Dowling, CEO, Mariucci Family Beacon House. “Many people have heard of Hope Lodges which are cancer related. It’s a house next to a cancer treatment center. I recently just read a beautiful story about the Fisher House where veterans stay when they’re getting their medical care. What Beacon House is, is all of those things rolled into one because our regional medical center is here when people have cancer or they have serious illnesses, a brain tumor or where orthopedic surgery is required, this is the hospital that they come to. So, when you have that medical emergency, that you have a safe affordable place to stay and the last thing you have to worry about is, ‘Can I afford it?'”
