Question:
Does anyone know if they have a place for families to stay at Magee's?

Does anyone know if they have a place at Magee women's hospital in Pittsburgh, PA for families to stay? My mom is coming with me for my lap/rny and I'm trying to figure out where she can stay. If anyone knows any really close by hotels I'd really appreciate it.    — Marcy M. (posted on January 28, 2002)

There is a place called Family House. I'm not sure if your mother could stay there or if it is for patients and their families to stay before and after treatment. Ask Dr. Hamad's office - it was mentioned on their video when I was there. If that doesn't work there is a Best Western across the street and a Holiday Inn and a Wyndham Hotel also located in Oakland near Magee. I am hoping to have surgery with Dr. Hamad. If you are interested in "chatting", e-mail me!

When I had my son at Magee, I was a high risk pregnancy and in there for several weeks, and I'll tell you that Magee is the best 5 start hotel like hospital around! In each room there is a special chair that converts into a bed just incase someone needs to stay overnite----pediatric hospitals could learn a lession from this! Call their pre-admissions department and ask them about places to stay, and the guidelines for someone staying with you, they are the most gracious and accomodating people----remember that they deal with a lot of people comming great distances for their expertice and their extended families every day. BTW, I'm 5 months post-op VBG today, and doing great! I also live just minutes from the hospital. Please feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions, concerns, or there is anything I can do to help.
