The Ernest & Eugenia Wyatt Guest House provides a convenient and comfortable haven for cancer patients and their families receiving treatment at Ellis Fischel Cancer Center. Located on the west end of the Ellis Fischel Cancer center campus, the guest house offers patients a temporary "home away from home." 

Eugenia Wyatt became interested in EFCC as a result of her youngest sister's battle with cancer. Her sister, Juanita Roberts, received treatments from Ellis Fischel, MD, a pioneer in the fight against cancer. Even though Juanita eventually succumbed to the disease, Mrs. Wyatt never forgot the special care Dr. Fischel provided.  Eugenia Wyatt's interest grew as she watched EFCC flourish over the years. Mrs. Wyatt, along with her husband, Ernest, spent much of her life in rural settings and envisioned a home away from home for cancer patients who commute long distances to receive lifesaving treatment. Made possible through a significant gift from the Wyatts, the Ernest and Eugenia Wyatt Guest House will stand as a legacy of their loving and caring spirit.

Guest house staff members provide patients and family members with a warm, friendly environment that allows them to concentrate on getting better during their cancer treatment. Patients have a place to rest, share a meal and communicate feelings with others who are having similar experiences in the fight against cancer. The house has twelve rooms available for guest use. Each room is equipped with two double beds, private bath, telephone, TV, linens and other "hotel like" amenities. Common areas include the kitchen, TV rooms, library, living room, internet and laundry facilities. The Guest House also offers several activities for patients and their families to take part in such as: Bingo, Movie Nights, and Look Good Feel Better Classes. Toiletries and monetary donations are always welcome.
