The Connelly Hospitality House
The Connelly Hospitality House provides a comforting haven for cancer patients and their caregivers, age 18 or older, who travel over 50 miles to receive treatment in Farmington, NM. Our mission is to create a safe, welcoming environment where patients and families can find rest, solace, and a sense of connection when they need it most. When the house isn’t fully occupied, families of those hospitalized with a traumatic injury or medical emergency and who meet the distance and age requirements are also welcome. There is no lodging fee, but we hope all residents will contribute to ensure that the house remains open and well-maintained for future guests.
RV Parking
In addition, a parking area with three full hook-ups for recreational vehicles is just a few steps from the front door. Spaces are available for $10 at night and guests are asked to register before parking their unit. RV guests must also meet the requirements above.
History
Jerry and Bonnie Connelly were local residents who fought Jerry’s battle with cancer together. After staying at a patient lodging facility in Houston, Texas, they returned to Farmington with the hope of creating a hospitality house to serve the Four Corners area. They established the Connelly Hospitality House fund in 1991. Bonnie and hundreds of donors and volunteers worked tirelessly until the Connelly’s dream was fulfilled.
The house was designed by architect Charlie Berger and sits on land donated by SJRMC. On Valentine’s Day in 2000, the house opened—as a gift of love from the Four Corners community to the Four Corners community.
The Connelly Hospitality House is owned and operated by the San Juan Medical Foundation. The House continues to thrive, fully supported by the dedication of volunteers, the kindness of individual and corporate donors, and grant funding.
