What We Do

Removing barriers to pediatric healthcare.

Ronald McDonald Houses

Families seeking medical care in Richmond experience logistical and financial relief when they stay at the Ronald McDonald House – offering critical peace of mind and allowing them to focus on what’s most important – being present for their child.

Ronald McDonald Family Rooms

Ronald McDonald Family Room programs serve families near pediatric units in hospitals, just footsteps away from their child’s hospital room. These calming spaces offer comfort and a relaxing space to recharge outside of the hospital environment.

Ronald McDonald Sibling Center

Located in the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU, the Sibling Center reduces parents’ stress by offering a fun, age-appropriate space for siblings of pediatric patients in the Children’s Pavilion.

Ronald McDonald Hospitality Carts and Hospitality Kiosk

Whether planned or unexpected, hospital stays leave many parents without essential items and comforts while their child receives medical care. The Ronald McDonald Hospitality Carts and Kiosk offer necessities and care items for parents so that they have what they need to be there for their child, without having to be far from their child’s bedside.
