When a child needs medical care, caregivers are often balancing more than one child at a time. That split focus can make an already stressful moment even harder.

Ronald McDonald House STAR Sibling Programs provide Support, Teaching, Awareness and Resources in outpatient and emergency care settings, so caregivers can give their full attention to the child receiving treatment. STAR Sibling Programs create a safe, welcoming space where siblings can learn, play and stay engaged during appointments.

Through hands-on activities and mini-lessons, children build healthy habits while caregivers receive information and resources that support family well-being. Because strong families lead to better outcomes.
