Ronald McDonald House Charities Dayton

RMHC Dayton offers a community of compassion, support, and the comforts of home to families with critically ill children, steps away from the medical care they need. At our programs, we care for families, including caregivers, children receiving outpatient treatment, siblings, and other family members. By easing caregivers' financial and emotional burdens and taking care of important practical needs, our programs allow families to focus on what truly matters most: caring for their child.

The House provides a safe and comforting temporary residence near local hospitals so families can stay together. Families can eat a home-cooked meal, take a shower, do laundry, or rest in their private guest room, and all of these essential amenities are available just minutes away from their child's bedside.

The Ronald McDonald Family Room is a place of respite within the hospital, where families with in-patient children can grab a cup of coffee, shower, do laundry, eat, and rest just steps away from their child's bedside. RMHC Dayton currently has two Family Room programs, one within Dayton Children's Hospital and one at Emmett's Place at Miami Valley Hospital.
