The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) is a place for parent and families of pediatric patients at The Children’s Medical Center of Dayton and other area hospitals to take a break from the hospital while remaining available for their child at a moment’s notice.

Whether the child is facing a hospitalization or an outpatient procedure, the Ronald McDonald House is available as a home away from home.

Located just across the street from The Children’s Medical Center on the corner of Chapel and Valley Streets, the Ronald McDonald House has 14 bedrooms with private baths; four large kitchens; two family rooms, as well as a play area, laundry facilities, a patio and free parking.

Here are a few examples of how the house can serve visitors:

• Day surgery: If the patient is scheduled for day surgery early in the morning, the family can enjoy a more relaxed pace the next day if they check into the RMH the night before.
• Frequent hospitalizations: If the patient has a chronic condition, RMH stays can be helpful during both planned and unplanned hospital visits.
• Lengthy hospitalizations: The RMH is equipped to meet the long-term needs of families if the patient is hospitalized for weeks or months.
• Day use: A family who is unwilling to leave a child overnight can visit the house during the day to eat, shower and take a break from the hospital.
