Ronald McDonald STAR Center

Monday – Friday, 9 am – 2 pm (Hours subject to change without notice)

COVID-19 safety protocols are in effect.

It’s a familiar sight: caregivers trying to focus on a child’s medical treatment while caring for other children accompanying them. In some cases, this can be a significant barrier to receiving the best care or making the most informed decisions. The Ronald McDonald STAR Center provides support so caregivers can turn their full attention to the patient.

The STAR (Support, Teaching, Awareness and Resources) Center is a fun and welcoming learning environment for children while their siblings receive outpatient care. Children are given activities and mini lessons to promote well-being and healthy habits. Caregivers are given information and resources to help foster healthy child development and family interactions.

Families also receive information about the free Ronald McDonald Family Resource Link, www.redtreehouse.org, which offers a comprehensive collection of organizations, tools, guides and events to help families navigate through challenges.

Guidelines and Registration
