Ronald McDonald Houses Charities of Kansas City

At Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City (RMHC-KC) we keep families with sick children close to each other and the care and resources they need. At our three Houses adjacent to Children’s Mercy Downtown Campus and House inside Children’s Mercy, we create places of respite where families can rally around and support one another. 

Ronald McDonald House Inside Children’s Mercy

The Ronald McDonald House inside Children’s Mercy is a haven for all ICU families, offering a place to relax and find respite just steps away from their hospitalized child. Located on the 2nd floor of the hospital, this facility provides a cozy, home-like environment with amenities such as:

The space open is to all ICU families 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the above services and for families to take naps.

In addition, 10 overnight sleeping rooms are available each night for ICU families. To request a room in the Ronald McDonald House inside Children’s Mercy, please visit us and speak with the front desk or call (816) 234-1533.
