Ronald McDonald Family Rooms

“Because sometimes even the smallest distance can be too far” 

When a child is critically ill, parents are reluctant to leave the hospital. However, they desperately need a break from the ongoing stress of beeping monitors, hospital lingo, and busy intensive care units. Ronald McDonald House Charities, with the help of the medical facilities, has set aside rooms intended to serve as a quiet rest area for family members of children being treated in those facilities.

Ronald McDonald Family Rooms are located at Norton Children’s Hospital, Frazier Rehab Institute and Norton Women’s and Children’s Hospital.  All services offered at these locations are free of charge.
