Be our guest
Katina Tengesdal/MDN - - Amy Moen, director of the Trinity Health Foundation, begins a tour of the Guest House.
It’s been a year since Trinity Guest House first opened its doors. Since then, it has offered a place to stay for more than 1,000 family members of those critically ill in Trinity Hospital. The Guest House was gifted to Trinity by a Minot family. “We never expected it to be utilized as much as it is. But before (the Guest House opened), if the motels in town were full, it’s tough for people to find a place to stay. I’m not sure where they went then, I think some ended up sleeping in the hospital lobby,” Amy Moen, director of the Trinity Health Foundation, said. Of the guests who have stayed, 75 percent have been from outside of Minot, while approximately 25 percent have been from out of state. This May was the Guest House’s busiest month yet, with nearly an 80 percent occupancy rate. The guests themselves have been leaving positive feedback about their stay in the guest books provided in each room. A family from Regina, Sask.
