The Ronald McDonald House
The Ronald McDonald House program provides families with a “home away from home” while their children receive treatment in a nearby hospital or medical facility. Here, family members can sleep, eat, relax and find support from other families in similar situations. Since 1974, Ronald McDonald Houses have helped more than 10 million families in need. There are currently 174 Ronald McDonald Houses in North America.
Ronald McDonald Family Room
The Ronald McDonald Family Room program provides a home-like haven inside hospitals, offering families of critically ill children opportunities to reflect, shower or rest without leaving their child’s side. There are currently 70 Ronald McDonald Family Rooms in North America.
