Explanation of the concept

The 'Dr Emmanuelle de Wolff & Kiwanis' flat provides reasonably-priced temporary accommodation for parents travelling from a great distance whose child is staying at the Sion Hospital.

Parents are provided with a comfortable space which is located just 7 minutes’ walking distance from the Sion Hospital, to sleep, prepare meals and, above all, be close to their child. The flat is also a place for sharing and be connected to other parents in a similar situation. Each bedroom has a private bathroom. The living room and kitchen are shared spaces.

Our objective is to provide sick children with the ability to have their parents, brothers and sisters at their side during the treatment period and/or hospitalisation because we truly believe that medical treatments are more efficient when a child is surrounded by his or her family.
