Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Ronald McDonald House Programs
Our Ronald McDonald House® programs in Cleveland and Akron give families a welcoming place to stay so they can focus on caring for their children. Comfortable rooms, meals, inviting common areas and landscaped grounds are a safe and welcome retreat from the hospital setting. Families also benefit from the comradery and community they find at our Houses.
Our House programs include all amenities, meals and activities. There is no charge to stay at a Ronald McDonald House. While families are invited to make a nominal contribution toward future operations, no family has ever been, or ever will be, turned away due to inability to donate. Our two Ronald McDonald House programs can accommodate a combined 95 families per night.
Ronald McDonald Family Room Programs
Ronald McDonald Family Room® programs in four Cleveland-area hospitals offer a space for families to rest and recharge just steps from their child’s treatment room. Happy Wheels mobile hospitality carts bring comfort to the bedside for those who cannot step away.
RedTreehouse.org
RedTreehouse.org, the online Ronald McDonald Family Resource Link, supports the well-being of families and children with challenges, disabilities and health care needs. The site features a comprehensive directory of organizations, tools and events, as well as helpful guides and free webinars on a variety of topics.
Ronald McDonald STAR Center
Providing Support, Teaching, Awareness and Resources, our Ronald McDonald STAR Center at Cleveland Clinic Children’s Outpatient Center is a fun learning environment for children during siblings’ outpatient visits. This allows Caregivers to turn their full attention to the child receiving treatment.
Ronald McDonald Care Mobile
Ronald McDonald Care Mobile®, in partnership with UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s, provides dental service to children ages 3-12 in underserved areas of Northeast Ohio. Our state-of-the-art dentist office on wheels provides diagnostic, preventative and restorative treatment and education to at-risk children right in their own communities.
