Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana (RMHC-CNI)

Ronald Mcdonald houses - our six houses and four family rooms provide a "home away from home" to keep families together. The houses are located near lurie children's hospital, university of chicago comer children's hospital, loyola university medical center, advocate children's hospital, northwestern medicine prentice women's hospital and northwestern medicine central dupage hospital. The family rooms are located inside edward hospital, advocate lutheran general hospital, lurie children's and university of chicago comer children's hospital. The houses and family rooms allow families to eat, sleep and find the emotional support they need just blocks from where their child is being treated. In 2023 we provided 49,804 family nights and respite care to 7,934 families, offering them care and comfort during their hours of greatest need. While we suggest a donation of $10 per night, no family is ever turned away if they are unable to pay.

Care mobile - our care mobile program, in partnership with advocate children's hospital, provides essential health service to over 3,018 children in underserved areas in a mobile environment. Children receive check-ups, immunizations and referrals for speciality care, including asthma, cardiology and allergies. Our goal is to find a "health care home" for all the children seen on the care mobile.
