Mission

Our core programs include: two Ronald McDonald House® programs that provide temporary housing for families of seriously ill children being treated at area hospitals; and two Ronald McDonald Care Mobile® programs, in partnership with Medstar Georgetown University Hospital. These mobile units offer free healthcare in addition to fitness and nutrition education to under-served children in the DC area.
About
HOUSES: RMHC DC IMPROVES CHILDREN'S ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE AND HELPS THEM HEAL FASTER AND COPE BETTER. OUR CORE PROGRAMS INCLUDE: TWO AREA RONALD MCDONALD HOUSES (ONE IN WASHINGTON D.C.

RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE (RMH) - MANY FAMILIES TRAVEL FAR FROM HOME AND SPEND SEVERAL WEEKS OR MONTHS TO GET TREATMENT FOR THEIR SERIOUSLY ILL OR INJURED CHILDREN - A LONG TIME TO BE AWAY OR TO DIVIDE A FAMILY. AND, FOR CHILDREN FACING A SERIOUS MEDICAL CRISIS, NOTHING SEEMS SCARIER THAN NOT HAVING MOM AND DAD CLOSE BY FOR LOVE AND SUPPORT. WE BELIEVE THAT WHEN A CHILD IS HOSPITALIZED THE LOVE AND SUPPORT OF FAMILY IS AS POWERFUL AS THE STRONGEST MEDICINE PRESCRIBED. OUR RONALD MCDONALD HOUSES ARE THAT "HOME-AWAY-FROM-HOME" FOR FAMILIES SO THEY CAN STAY CLOSE BY THEIR HOSPITALIZED CHILD AT LITTLE OR NO COST. WE ASK FOR A $15 DONATION PER NIGHT TO HELP DEFRAY THE COST OF OPERATING THE HOUSES; HOWEVER, NO FAMILY IS TURNED AWAY FOR LACK OF FUNDS. OVER THE LAST 39 YEARS, STRESSED FAMILIES HAVE STAYED OVER 208,738 NIGHTS AT OUR HOUSES. HOSPITALS SERVED INCLUDE: CHILDREN'S NATIONAL, GEORGETOWN HOSPITAL, INOVA CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL AND OTHERS.
