About
RMHC provides stability and vital resources to families so they can get and keep their child healthy and happy through the charities' core programs: 1) Ronald McDonald House provides a 'home away from home' for families with children undergoing medical treatment at Golisano Children's Hospital. 2) The Ronald McDonald Family Room located on the 2nd floor of Golisano Children's Hospital provides families of hospitalized children use of this space to rest and re-group while being just minutes away from their child's bedside. 3) The two Ronald McDonald Care Mobiles provide medical and dental screenings, treatment and sealants to underserved areas of Collier, Lee and Hendry counties as well as monthly autism screenings in Lee County. In 1996, Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of Southwest Florida opened its doors in Fort Myers to offer a' home-away-from home' to the families of seriously ill children hospitalized at the adjacent Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida. Since then, services have expanded to include the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile program, the RMHC Scholars program, a community grants program, and a Ronald McDonald Family Room located inside Golisano Children's Hospital. Through our partnership with Golisano Children's Hospital, our guests and visitors can easily be with their precious newborns that came into this world a little sooner than planned or at the bedside of their child hospitalized due to illness or injury. Whatever the reason that our paths cross, it is a true gift being part of this 'home-away-from-home' for moms and dads, grandparents and siblings during the most challenging time of their lives. At RMHC, each family receives private and safe accommodations, nourishing meals, close access to healthcare and the kindhearted support of our staff, volunteers, and other RMHC families who are facing similar challenges. The gift of togetherness provided by our house allows parents and caregivers to focus on their top priority: the health and healing of their child. RMHC was pleased to open and operate a Ronald McDonald Family Room program in the 128-bed Golisano Children's Hospital in May 2017. A Ronald McDonald Family Room extends the RMHC hallmark of care and comfort beyond the house itself. While our Ronald McDonald House generally serves families who travel a distance from home for specialized medical care, a Ronald McDonald Family Room can serve dual roles. The Ronald McDonald Family Room also serves families who may live near the hospital but prefer not to leave for even a short break or a meal. The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile is a mobile unit that annually provides much-needed medical and dental screenings and treatment to more than 4,000 underserved children in Collier County. 40% of the children receiving services are uninsured. These services are made possible through our partnership with Healthcare Network of Southwest Florida. The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile also travels to Lee County one day a month for autism screenings provided in partnership with Golisano Children's Hospital. In partnership with Family Health Centers of Southwest Florida, RMHC took delivery of a much needed second Ronald McDonald Care Mobile to provide medical and dental treatment to underserved children in Lee, Charlotte, and Hendry counties. In 2019, more than 5,000 children received dental and health education on board the second Care Mobile. There are a number of ways that the business community supports RMHC. For some, it's an annual financial contribution; for others it is participating in, or sponsoring one of our 2019 signature fundraising events including: the Storybook Ball, the annual Grampy's Pro Am Golf Tournament, World Wine Tour and the Brew-Ha-Ha Craft Beer Festival. Still others provide donations of goods, services and/or time at the house such as providing an evening meal to the resident families. Individuals who volunteer and provide financial support are a huge part of our ability to do what we do. Last year, 397 'regular' chapter volunteers donated their time to us at our Ronald McDonald House and Ronald McDonald Family Room and another 2,214 volunteers assisted with community/fundraising events. Volunteers are integral to the mission and operation of RMHC and in 2019 provided 23,207 hours of service to the organization. In 2019, RMHC hosted and served 68 families at the Ronald McDonald House for an average length of stay of 24 nights. The Ronald McDonald Family Room program distributed over 6,000 brown bag lunches for any family with a child in the hospital. More than 9,000 children received medical/dental and health education services on board the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile in Collier, Lee and Hendry counties. In 2019, the Board of Directors approved a motion to expand the Ronald McDonald House program by an additional six bedrooms, hence doubling house occupancy in 2020.
