The Ronald McDonald House Family Room

When stepping away from the bedside feels impossible, the Ronald McDonald House Family Room offers a place to pause, rest and recharge.

Located on the 2nd floor near the PICU, the Family Room provides a calm, welcoming space for families with a child receiving care at UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital.

Families are asked to register once per month at the Family Room volunteer desk.
