About Ronald McDonald House Newfoundland and Labrador:
Founded in 2012, Ronald McDonald House of Newfoundland and Labrador (RMHNL) provides accommodation for sick children, and their families, who must travel to St. Johns, to receive specialized pediatric care and treatment at the nearby Janeway Children's Health and Rehabilitation Centre. Its hope is to positively impact the health and lives of sick children, their families and their communities. Although RMHNL provided services to 681 children supported by 1,005 caregivers in 2018, RMHNL was unable to accommodate 282 families. Last year, 406 families were placed on a waitlist for a place at Ronald McDonald House of Newfoundland and Labrador. RMHNL provides 8 programs for families staying at the house: Home for Dinner, Just Like Nan’s Baked Goods, Comfort Quilt, Keeping Families Connected, Magic Room, Special Day Celebrations, House Pantry, and Recreation Program.
In 2018, there were 538 family visits to Ronald McDonald House, representing an increase of 8.3% from 2017.
