Ronald McDonald Family Rooms

When families walk into a Ronald McDonald Family Room®, we want them to forget they’re in a hospital. Often steps away from a high dependency or pediatric intensive care unit, Ronald McDonald Family Rooms offer a place to rest and recharge, just moments away from their hospitalised child.
