Description of the organization's activities:
RMHC Houses provide families with accommodation, meals, mental health and wellness programming, peer support, support for siblings, respite, laundry, school, and many other services to take care of the entire family while their child is being treated at a nearby hospital. RMHC operates an essential mission throughout all of Canada today – as the only national organization enabling access to Canada’s paediatric healthcare system. Our mission is to keep families with sick children close to each other, and close to the healthcare their child needs. Across Canada, RMHC’s 16 Houses and 18 Family Rooms enable critical access to children’s healthcare in a caring, affordable, accessible, inclusive, and supportive environment.

  • Descriptions of the organization's activity in previous versions:
    • In Canada, 65 per cent of families live outside a city with a children's hospital, and must travel for treatment if their child is seriously ill. The RMHC network of programs at 34 locations across Canada helps to keep more than 26,000 families close to their sick child and the care they need each year. The 16 Ronald McDonald Houses provide out-of-town families with a home to stay at while their child is being treated at a nearby hospital, while the 17 Ronald McDonald Family Rooms provide a comfortable place for families to rest and recharge, right inside hospitals. Through the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile, basic medical care is available to underserved communities in Alberta. For more information visit: RMHC.ca
