Ronald McDonald House provides a “home away from home” for families of hospitalized children. They can stay close to the hospital at little or no cost. Parents can focus on their child's health and keep in close touch with the child's medical team. The family can enjoy home-cooked meals and private bedrooms. There is a playroom for children. There may be a small per diem fee for a family's stay, but no one is ever turned away because of inability to pay. Please see the website for more information.
