Our Impact

Enabling family-centered care and providing accommodations at no cost.

Family-centered care is an approach to health care where the entire family is fully supported, engaged, involved and able to make informed decisions about the care and support services provided to their sick child. For that care model to succeed, family proximity to a hospitalized child is crucial. Research shows that families who stay at a Ronald McDonald House report more positive hospital experiences and a greater ability to participate in their child’s care.

Through our CNY Ronald McDonald House and Hospitality Cart programs, we offer families what they need to ensure the best health outcomes for their children. By providing comfort and care, and a nearby place to stay at no cost, parents can actively engage with their child’s medical team, keep up with complicated treatment plans and focus on what truly matters most: the health and well-being of their child.
