Ronald McDonald House Family Rooms
RMHCK operates a 4-bedroom facility within Norton Women and Childrens Hospital in St. Matthews, a 4-bed semi-private space within Norton Childrens Hospital Downtown, and a daytime-only family room in Frazier Rehab Hospital Downtown. The Family Room spaces provide a private area of comfort for pediatric families because RMHCK knows that a quiet place to fellowship with family, a warm cup of coffee, and a private space to take a nap to sleep overnight can make the day a little less hard; and sometimes a little less hard” is enough.
Hospitality Cart
RMHCK operates two hospitality carts on the 1st and 3rd floors of the Novak Center for Childrens Health during designated hours twice per month. Families and children can stop by the cart to receive a nutritious snack, drink, and childrens activities while theyre waiting for medical appointments in the building.
