Ronald McDonald House
Our House provides traveling families a safe haven minutes from their child’s hospital bed, increasing their ability to spend time with their child, interact with their clinical care team and participate in critical medical decisions. Families receive a private room, daily meals, access to basic necessities and support from our caring staff and volunteers. By alleviating the stress of where to sleep, eat, shower, do laundry, etc., they can focus their attention on what matters most: the treatment and recovery of their child.
Over the past 10 years, RMH has provided over 75,000 room nights from families across the Carolinas and beyond. Though it currently costs $142/night to house a family, the House offers our full range of services at no cost thanks to the support of our community.
Ronald McDonald Family Room at Caroline's Corner
Our Family Room program is uniquely positioned within Hemby Children's Hospital, allowing us to provide services to patients and their families just steps from their hospital room. The Family Room is open to all 101 Hemby Children's Hospital patients and their families 5 days/week to provide access to refreshments, lounge areas, a laundry area, and shower facilities. Whether a family’s home base is located 10 minutes from the hospital or temporarily at our House program, this onsite space provides access to critical resources onsite. While it costs approximately $6,700/month to operate the Family Room, families have unlimited access to services and supplies at no charge thanks to the support of our community.
