Traveling Alone to Mayo Clinic Jacksonville

Posted by Angela Marie @amrred, Jul 13, 2021

I saw there are resources for assistance in Rochester for patients traveling alone, does anyone have those resources for Jacksonville? I am having surgery in August and need assistance getting my bag from the hotel to my hospital room, and also someone to accompany me at discharge. Many Thanks for all help!

@wizbanger73 Hi and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You will see that I moved your post to a topic about traveling to Mayo Clinic in Florida so that you can connect with others that can advise you good places to stay.

Have you checked Airbnb?

wizbanger73, I think @lmindela may be able to assist with your question about camping places or long term rentals at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville.
May I ask what treatment you're going for? Are you concerned about spending the holiday season away from home?
