When families walk into a Ronald McDonald Family Room, we want them to forget they’re in a hospital.
Only steps away from the pediatric and intensive care unit at St Vincent's Healthcare, the Ronald McDonald Family Room offers a place of refuge to families in the hospital where their child is staying because of illness or injury.
Help Children Heal Better and Faster
Research shows that a family presence in the hospital helps children heal faster. Staying close by allows parents to better communicate with their child’s medical team and improves adherence to complicated treatment plans.
