The Caring Club House was created to help meet the hospitality needs of patients, their families and caregivers. As Prairie Lakes Healthcare Systems grows as a regional medical center, more people utilize Watertown for medical services. As part of our mission to provide compassionate care, we are pleased to offer this special home to help ease the burdens patients, families and caregivers may experience during a medical illness and treatment. In 2013 the Caring Club House served nearly 1,000 guests from a variety of communities and states.
Funded and furnished completely through community support and donations, the Caring Club House is a not-for-profit, community based project of the Prairie Lakes Healthcare Foundation. All contributions of time, materials and money are welcome and are tax deductible as allowed by law. Without support from generous donors, this service would not be possible.
