The Ronald McDonald Family Room extends the warmth, comfort, and services of our core program, the Ronald McDonald House.

Like the Ronald McDonald House, the Ronald McDonald Family Room in the new MU Health Care Children’s Hospital is specifically designed to support family-centered care by providing families with essential rest and support while they remain near their hospitalized child.

In the Family Room, guests will feel like they have stepped out of the hospital and into a friend’s living room. The restorative space accommodates 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.

 For more information contact America Perez, Family Room Manager, at America@rmhcmidmo.org or (573) 884-5666.
