The Ronald McDonald Family Room

The Ronald McDonald House Charities is proud to partner with the University of Vermont Children’s Hospital to provide patients and their families a quiet retreat in our Ronald McDonald Family Room.

The Family Room is located on the pediatric floor (Baird 5) of the hospital and offers a home-like setting for families of hospitalized children.  The Family Room includes a living room, kitchen area, bathroom, shower, laundry facility, computer access and caring volunteers. The Family Room is a place where families or patients can use the kitchen to bake or warm up a meal, take a hot shower, do a load of laundry or rest.

in 2019…

  • 3,129 people visited the Family Room
  • 355 overnights were provided in the Quiet Rooms
  • There are 252 Family Rooms across 25 regions and countries

Please make yourself at home in the Family Room by using any of the resources available to you, including our Quiet Rooms.  Don’t hesitate to ask a volunteer if you have any questions. We also welcome your suggestions and ideas to make the Family Room an even better place.

The Family Room is open 365 days per year from 9am to 6pm (some days opened until 9pm) as long as a trained volunteer is present.
