Traveling to NJH

I am also going in April but I'm staying with family. They told me their website had places to stay with reduced rates.

I will be going in April and was wondering where you stayed? I am looking for a safe and close place to the hospital.

We stayed at Sonder @ University Park. Close to hospital, great place and wonderful walking neighborhood.
Facility has indoor pool and parking garage. If you have to stay a week it is great to have that kitchen.

Question for those that have been or are at NJH.
I am in the process of buying my airline tickets. I can only stay to about 2pm on my last day. They say you have to stay till 5pm and leave on Saturday. I live in Asheville nc and we are limited in flights. For me allegient is the best from Asheville and they only fly certain days. I would have to extend trip by 4 more days. Unacceptable. Trips is not cheap. I checked my schedule with NJH and they have me only on my last day at 9am with the doctor I am to see.
What has been your experience and will they get mad when I tell them. Thanks for your thoughts.

Hi Miriam, I was at NJH in December, scheduled from Dec 7 (Wed) - Dec 16 (Fri). I too had an appointment scheduled the last Friday afternoon. We had driven to Denver from Georgia and were watching the weather for our trip back. I had a lot of appointments the first 4 days and then just a couple on Tuesday and the wrap up one on Friday afternoon. If we had stayed the entire scheduled time, we would have run into storms on the way home. My doctor was Dr. Griffith and I asked him on that Monday if we it was necessary to stay all the way to Friday since it looked like I would be finishing my last tests and appointments on Tuesday. He was fine with it. I didn’t have any complications or anything too out of the ordinary to keep me there for more tests. I met with Dr. Griffith on MWF and on TTh, I saw another doctor or a nurse practitioner each afternoon for a wrap-up. I would suggest that when you meet with your doctor and are comfortable with him/her, just tell them the situation and ask if they could move up the last appointment. Dr. Griffith was very amiable. Hopefully whoever you see will be too.

Hello!
I would like to know thoughts of NJH. I am coming up on month 6 of treatment with bronchoscopy scheduled for end of month to see if any clearance of the MAC. ( I don’t produce sputum). My understanding is that if you don’t clear by this milestone- your chances are significantly reduced. I want to make sure I am making the right, informed decisions. Evidently, NJH is the “expert”; although I have read some harsh reviews as well.
Any thoughts or shared experience would be greatly appreciated!

When I went to Mayo Clinic in Rochester I contacted Mayo Clinic Concierge who were very helpful in finding me a hotel. There is an underground walkway to the hospital so you are not outside in the elements. I recommend contacting Mayo Concierge. Their phone number is 507-538-8438.
