Operated by texas children's hospital, ronald mcdonald care mobile has a full-time doctor and nurse available throughout the week. In august 2012, a second mobile unit began operations. In this three-room mobile unit, operated by university of texas health school of dentistry, future dentists and dental hygienists gain educational experience through providing much needed dental care to under-served children throughout houston. Rmhcghg awarded 85 scholarships to local graduating high school seniors totaling $170,000. Ronald mcdonald c. H. E. E. R! (children's health education enrichment resource) room, provides a fun, colorful, welcoming environment and an educational place for children to wait while their mothers receive prenatal care at utmb regional maternal and child health program clinics. The non-clinical staff keeps children occupied with age-appropriate mini-lessons in health and wellness allowing mothers to turn their attention to the healthcare providers giving them critical information about their own health and the health of their unborn baby. Rmhcghg provides grants to ronald mcdonald house of houston and ronald mcdonald house of galveston. These houses offer a home away from home providing care, compassion and hope to families with seriously ill children undergoing treatment in area medical institutions.
