Mission

Quantum House is a caring and supportive home that lessens the burden for families whose children are receiving treatment in Palm Beach County for a serious medical condition.

WE'RE ONE OF A KIND

Quantum House opened its doors on May 12, 2001, on the campus of St. Mary’s Medical Center and is the only facility of its kind between Orlando and Miami. The first family stay was July 25, 2001. With the vision, resources and energy of Quantum Foundation and the Junior League of the Palm Beaches, Quantum House was founded to serve a need that was previously not addressed in Palm Beach County.

Quantum House relieves the stress and financial hardship that are often added to the trauma of illness or injury. Guests staying at the House are asked to pay a nominal fee to help with operating costs, but no one is turned away because of inability to pay. As the only facility of its kind between Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale, Quantum House serves families from around the world. The House is open to all families regardless of race, ethnicity, creed, religion, or socioeconomic background.

As an independent 501(c)(3), Quantum House relies solely on the generosity of the community.

WHERE FAMILIES COME FIRST

When a child requires hospitalization or medical treatment far from home, the impact extends beyond the child to the entire family, bringing about emotional challenges. It is crucial for families to actively participate in the child's recovery, as their presence and emotional support play a vital role in the healing journey. In such difficult times, fulfilling even basic daily needs can feel overwhelming.

Quantum House is thoughtfully designed to provide all the comforts of home with 30 family suites, kitchens, spacious dining areas for shared meals and connections with volunteers and other families. A variety of common areas such as an outdoor dining patio, family playrooms, community living room, laundry facilities, spacious outdoor veranda, outdoor putting green and playground, fitness center, and walking trail, are provided to support families during their stay.

Additionally, amenities like computer access, printers, fax machines, and internet services are available to support working parents who may need to stay connected during this challenging time.

OUR GROWTH

In 2016, we completed a significant 20,000 square foot expansion of the existing building. This expansion included 20 additional guest suites, playroom, fitness center, business center, day kitchen, housekeeping room, learning lounge, additional kitchen, dining areas and laundry facilities. In addition to these indoor amenities, we also added outdoor features such as a playground, gazebo, healing bridge and benches.

This expansion was a result of a successful $5,000,000 fundraising effort – the Quantum House "Welcome Home" Capital Campaign.
