Rest and regroup right at the hospital

The Ronald McDonald Family Room^® at Dayton Children’s Hospital is a special place that offers the families of sick or injured children a chance to take care of everyday needs. Whether it’s doing the laundry or just getting a much-needed cup of coffee, families will have the peace of mind that their child is just a few steps away. Guests can also grab a snack or light meal in our fully equipped kitchen, take a refreshing shower, or relax and watch television on our comfortable furniture courtesy of La-Z-Boy.

Our doors are open 7am to 11pm every day, and we are located on the Second Floor of Dayton Children’s Hospital. Families are referred to the Ronald McDonald Family Room from their hospital unit.

If you have questions or would like more information on the Ronald McDonald Family Room, contact Family Room Manager Julie Arias[email protected] or 937.641.5875.
