Why the establishment of the Ronald McDonald House? |
| Medical experts believe that children recover more quickly with their families nearby. Many of these families live some distance away from the hospital and staying in local accommodations during their children’s treatment can be very costly. The Ronald McDonald House allows them to be close to their children and at the same time, saves them money and time.
