Quantum House - Serving Families of Children Receiving Medical Care


JB Thompson is studying business and political science at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. Also an experienced community volunteer, JB Thompson served at Quantum House during his high school years in Florida.

Located in West Palm Beach, Quantum House hosts families of children undergoing medical treatment in the area. Founded in 2001, the house hosts more than 1,000 families per year. As the only hospitality house between Orlando and Fort Lauderdale, Quantum House serves as a vital resource for families separated from their children due to illness. 

To meet the needs of visiting families, Quantum House relies on the assistance of volunteers. Those who wish to contribute as volunteers can do so individually or as part of a group. Volunteers can choose to prepare meals, assist with chores, organize the playroom, or help staff with preparation for special events. Those with special skills can fulfill tasks such as helping with gardening or leading yoga classes for families staying at Quantum House.
