    • The medical-facility representative emails the completed form to reservations@havenhousestl.org or faxes it to 314-434-6541.
    • HavenHouse verifies availability, completes screening for guests age 18 or older, and contacts the reservation contact to finalize the reservation after approval.
    • If confirmation is not received, the referring office calls 314-434-5858 for help with the referral process.
