CARE MOBILE
The Care Mobile is a state-of-the-art pediatric medical facility on wheels. Operated in partnership with Texas Children’s Hospital, the Care Mobile provides sick and well-child visits as well as vaccinations to underserved communities in the Greater-Houston area. The Care Mobile is staffed by pediatricians, nurse practitioners, nurses and medical assistants from Texas Children’s Hospital.
“We referred a child with depression and suicidal ideation to Texas Children’s where she got the treatment she desperately needed. If her mother hadn’t brought her to the mobile clinic, who knows what might have happened.” Care Mobile Team Member
SOCIAL WORK
The John M. O’Quinn Foundation’s Family Support Services team (Masters-Level Social Worker and interns) connect with each family to navigate obstacles during their child’s health journey. Our Family Support Specialists engage community partnerships so we can bridge gaps in areas such as education, housing, emotional well-being, behavioral and therapeutic assistance and much more.
“We were supported with 360-degree care. Spiritually, mentally, financially. Not just for my son, but for everyone in my family.” Chelsi Scott
FAMILY ACTIVITIES
Memories and moments of togetherness are a crucial part of healing. Family activities are just one of the ways we do this. We provide a curated range of activities for families staying at our Ronald McDonald Houses. From Graduation, to Halloween parties and movie nights – our goal is to bring as many smiles and laughter to our families as possible. Art as therapy is facilitated through a grant from The Faris Foundation.
“ You don’t expect anything fun to happen when you’re here for medical treatment, but at Ronald McDonald House, fun things happen all the time.” Gregory (patient)
