Comfort, Support, and a Home at Every Stop

It was a year of worry and exhaustion as they traveled across Ohio—Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbus—to help their precious boy. At every stop, the Nedleys found a sanctuary, a place of comfort, stability, and support. The Ronald McDonald House was their “home away from home,” where they could focus on Carter without worrying about where to sleep or what to eat. read more

Keeping families close®

RMHC® Northeast Ohio gives a family with a sick child what they need most — each other.

We believe when a child receives care, family needs to be there.

That’s why we help families stay together and near their hospitalized children in our Ronald McDonald House® and Ronald McDonald Family Room® programs.

We believe all families deserve access to quality care.

That’s why we help to reduce barriers, providing a comfortable place to stay at no cost to families. It’s why we bring dental care to children with our Ronald McDonald Care Mobile®, offer fun STAR program learning environments while siblings receive outpatient care, and provide connections to resources through RedTreehouse.org.

Please join us.
