Our Programs
RONALD MCDONALD HOUSES
Ronald McDonald House is more than a place to stay. The House creates a community where kids and families embrace life and healing with a sense of hope, courage and joy. We provide a support system that addresses the families’ emotional and practical needs. We have four locations in the Texas Medical Center: Holcombe House, Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital, MD Anderson Children’s Cancer Hospital, and Texas Children’s Hospital.
“I tried to budget for a hotel, but it wasn’t going to work. I was thinking I would just sleep in the car, and I’d be at the hospital when she wakes up.” Dorita Jackson
LOUNGES & FAMILY ROOMS
Ronald McDonald Lounges are a place for families to regroup, rest and refuel any time of day or night. Lounges are “safe” areas where patients and families can enjoy moments of normality. Amenities include comfortable sofas, a kitchen/dining area with complimentary meals and snacks, a universal charging station, and more. These spaces are available for families whose children are receiving care at our partner institutions.
“RMH Lounges provided us with a place of reprieve when we needed a break from the alarms and chaos of the NICU.” Audrey Vespa
JOYFULL EATS
Providing accessible food and snacks to our families is a top priority, and our goal is to serve one hot meal each day. Our 15 hospital lounges are stocked with grab & go snacks and H-E-B Meal Simple selections. At Holcombe House, lunches and dinners are catered and served by our meal partners. Meals provide more than nourishment. - they are an opportunity for families to regroup and meet others on similar journeys.
“Having access to a hot meal in the middle of the night, after not having eaten all day because your child is not doing well, is a God-send for us.” Ezekiel
