Ronald McDonald Houses Charites of Kansas City and the Ronald McDonald Family Room

At Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City (RMHC-KC) we keep families with sick children close to each other and the care and resources they need. At our three Houses adjacent to Children’s Mercy Hospital and our Ronald McDonald Family Rooms, we create places of respite where families can rally around and support one another.

Ronald McDonald Family Room


The Ronald McDonald Family Room is a special place within Children’s Mercy where ICU families can relax and “get away” while staying close to their child. The Family Room offers a comfortable home-like setting including a living room area with a television, a kitchen and a quiet room for private conversations and phone calls. Seven (7) overnight sleeping rooms are available daily for ICU families. Please visit us to request a room daily.

Because the Ronald McDonald Family Room is meant to be a respite area for parents and family members, patients are not allowed. While we are near Children’s Mercy downtown, we serve all pediatric hospitals in Kansas City. Approximately 93% of the patient families we serve are being treated at Children's Mercy Hospital.
