Extending Our Care Beyond the House
The Ronald McDonald House® Family Room extends the warmth, comfort, and services of our core program, the Ronald McDonald House.
Our Family Room
Comfort Just Steps Away
Like the Ronald McDonald House, the Ronald McDonald House Family Room in the MU Health Care Children’s Hospital is specifically designed to support families by providing them with essential rest and support while they remain near their hospitalized child. Located on the 7th floor, any family with an ill or injured child receiving care at Children’s Hospital can access the Ronald McDonald House Family Room.
Rest & Recharge
Guests will feel like they have stepped out of the hospital and into a friend’s living room in this restorative space. It can accommodate 20-30 people at a time and includes a living room area, kitchenette with food and coffee, laundry facilities, and comfortable areas to watch TV, rest and prepare for any medical challenges ahead with their child. In addition, there are two private guest sleeping rooms located just outside of the Family Room.
