RONALD MCDONALD FAMILY ROOM
A comforting place to rest at the hospital
When families walk into one of our five Ronald McDonald Family Rooms, we want them to forget they’re in a hospital. Serving families with sick children up to age 21, our Ronald McDonald Family Rooms offer a place to rest and regroup right at the hospital, just moments away from their sick child.
Our Family Rooms are located at:
Austin
- St. David’s Women’s Center of Texas
- Dell Children’s Medical Center
- St. David’s Medical Center
- Seton Medical Center Austin
Bryan-College Station
- CHI St. Joseph Regional Health Hospital
- College Station Medical Center (tentative opening 2017)
