Ronald McDonald Family Room
Medical Center Hospital, partnering with Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Southwest, Inc. proudly sponsors the 100th Ronald McDonald Family Room in the world!
Ronald McDonald Family Rooms provide a haven in the hospital for the families of children 18 and younger who are undergoing medical treatment. While providing many of the comforts of home, it alleviates much of the anxiety of being in a hospital environment. Families may use the area to rest, reflect, get something to eat and drink, shower or launder clothes. Sleep rooms are available for naps or overnight. Located on the 2nd floor of MCH, the hours are 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. (or when a volunteer is available).
