Home Away From Home
John and TC McNamara have generously donated the use of this apartment in North Hollywood, California to the Pacific Heart, Lung & Blood Institute specifically for Dr. Cameron's out-of-town patients. Please contact Jessica Like to reserve this apartment if you are seeking treatment for mesothelioma and do not live in Los Angeles.

The living room has a reclining sofa, fully functioning computer with internet access, extended television with a DVR and a DVD player to watch movies. Also in the living room is a treadmill for patients to slowly get back on their feet.



The tropical bedroom features a queen sized bed, dresser, closet complete with hangers, and another television.



The bar height dining table is just off the kitchen. You won't miss your microwave, coffee maker, refrigerator and freezer, or washer/dryer unit either.




Just behind the apartment is a backyard getaway where you can enjoy some sunshine through a flowering canopy. Besides the lush foliage, there is also a grill. One parking space is also available for our visitors, so you won't have to worry about parking a car on the street.



If you or a family member are planning to travel to Los Angeles to undergo treatment with Dr. Robert Cameron at UCLA Medical Center and you're interested in staying in the apartment, please contact TC or Nikki McNamara at TheJohnMcNamaraFoundation.org or (818) 429-9431 or (818) 621-0285 or PHLBI's executive director, Jessica Like at (310) 478-4678
