Family Room at Baystate Children's Hospital

For families with a child receiving treatment at Baystate Children's Hospital, the medical journey can be overwhelming, filled with long days of testing, treatment, and inpatient care. These families often put their own needs aside to focus entirely on their child's health and well-being. That's why Ronald McDonald House Charities of Connecticut and Western Massachusetts is proud to announce a new partnership with Baystate Children's Hospital to provide a dedicated space for respite and support within the hospital walls.

The Ronald McDonald Family Room will offer a quiet retreat just steps away from pediatric units, allowing families to recharge and refresh without straying too far from their child's bedside. In this comforting space, parents and caregivers can grab a bite to eat, rest in comfortable chairs, or simply take a moment to breathe. By bringing the care and compassion of a Ronald McDonald House into the hospital itself, we can ensure families have access to the support they need during even the most difficult times. With your help, we can keep families together when it matters most.

The Ronald McDonald Family Room at Baystate Children's Hospital will provide an invaluable source of comfort and support for families navigating the challenging journey of childhood illness.
