Travel Tips

Established in 2009 in loving memory of Laura Parness, ‘Laura’s Journeys’ is a support program for cancer patients at Roosevelt Hospital in Manhattan and other institutions within the Continuum Health Partners network. The program is specifically designed to encourage and facilitate recreational travel for the patient along with their spouse/partner or other family members/friends. Initial elements include live and online travel advice for patients from patients or their significant others, covering everything from weekend getaways in the metro New York area to week or longer journeys by car, plane, train or boat to other points in the U.S. or abroad. Based on their experiences, our volunteers will share their recommendations for places you can comfortably visit while undergoing treatment, while also passing on tips to make your journeys more pleasant, affordable and less stressful. As the program develops, additional elements are expected to include special discounts for patients and their co-travelers, as well as drawings for free trips of varying lengths.
