The Ronald McDonald House has announced the launch of a $3.5 million capital campaign.
A second location will open on the Deaconess Gateway medical campus.
“After much discussion with members of the medical community, we knew there was a need for more families to be served through a second RMHC house program,” said Theresa Floyd-Maas, Executive Director. “We are thrilled to announce that the ability to address the need is turning into reality this year.”
RMHC launched a silent phase of the “Behind Every Door” capital campaign in the summer of 2018. To date, they have raised over 70% of their goal.
“When babies and children are hospitalized, keeping families close is such an important part of the healing process,” said Chris Ryan, CEO of The Women’s Hospital. “This new location will help families be near their children undergoing medical treatment, offering a comfortable, home-like space at no cost to them.”
The new Ronald McDonald House will have 16 bedrooms, common kitchen dining, laundry and family activity space.
“Because of this second location, we will nearly triple the number of families served through both house programs at RMHC of the Ohio Valley,” Floyd-Maas added.
