Ronald McDonald Family Room

The McLean Family - 154 days

Steps away from the neonatal intensive care unit at St. David's North Austin Medical Center, the Ronald McDonald Family Room offers a place of refuge to families in the hospital.

Help Children Heal Faster and Cope Better

Research shows that a family presence in the hospital helps children heal faster and cope better. Staying close by allows parents to better communicate with their child’s medical team and improves adherence to complicated treatment plans. You can make a difference for these families with your donation today.
