Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Family Services, Health, Homeless & Housing, Housing Support, Human Services, Patient & Family Support
Mission: To keep families close by providing essential resources and a home-away-from-home for families of critically ill children receiving inpatient or outpatient medical care at a nashville area hospital.
Programs: Programs run by ronald mcdonald house charities, the 32-bedroom ronald mcdonald house and the ronald mcdonald family room on the 5th floor of the monroe carell jr. Children's hospital at vanderbilt offer a place for parents and family members to relax, refresh and experience the comforts of home while staying close to their sick child. In 2017, 475 families were served. These families came from 95 counties in tennessee and 66 counties in kentucky, as well as 41 other states, 2 u. S. Territories and 14 foreign countries. The nashville house requests that families pay $15 per night. However, the primary goal is to keep these families together and never refuse service because a family is unable to pay. In 2017, 54% of the families could not afford to pay to stay in our house. The average monthly occupancy in 2017 was 100% and the average daily waiting list consisted of 7 families and the average length of stay was 27 nights. The family room includes a comfortable seating area, a kitchen stocked with snacks, a children's play area, a half bath and the support of caring staff and volunteers. The family room has served more than 396,225 individuals since its opening and averages 1,500 visitors per month.
