Welcome

The Rathbun Center is a non-profit corporation that provides lodging and other supportive services in a "home like" environment, free of charge, for patients and or their caregivers coming into Asheville, North Carolina for medical treatment. Nestled in the mountains of Western North Carolina, The Rathbun Center awaits as a house of comfort, hope, support, and love.

Eighty eight Volunteers donated 6,450 hours in 2008 to staff the Front Desk and welcome the 1,451 families that called the Center their “home away from home” last year.

Admission is by referral only, and there is no charge to stay, but donations are welcomed to continue the operations of the Center.

We are also pleased to offer The Rathbun Center for your business and organization meetings. Click Meeting Room for more information.

Making Room for the Children Campaign to Raise $1.1 Million

Rathbun-Center-2007-008.jpgThe Rathbun Center's "Making Room for the Children" campaign, launched this summer, will raise $1.1 million to expand and renovate the facility to accommodate guests with children.

Sadly, from 5 to 25 families are on the waiting list each day, hoping for a room at the Center. Our campaign will create not only a welcoming environment for children and families, but will increase the Center's overall capacity by 44%.

To successfully reach our goal and expand our capacity to serve families, we now reach out to our friends in Western North Carolina for their support of The Rathbun Center's vital mission of keeping families together during times of critical illness.  Your gift to the campaign will help move families from the nightly waiting list into a welcoming room and the Rathbun Center's warm and caring environment.
