Families are stronger together.
RMHC of Connecticut and Western Massachusetts gives families the gift of togetherness. Our Programs serve as safe havens for families with children in need of medical care, keeping families together as they seek essential healthcare services and life-changing medical treatment.
Keeping families close
Families shouldn’t be apart when their child is in need of care. For over 30 years, our Ronald McDonald House Programs have been a home away from home for families who must travel far for their child’s healthcare. Our Ronald McDonald Family Room program gives families a place to rest, reflect, and recharge just steps from their child’s hospital bed. Our dedicated staff, volunteers, and community have led with compassion to surround families with support, hope, and courage.
