Our Family Rooms are welcoming spaces where you can take time out from the clinical environment of the wards, have a tea or coffee, freshen up with a shower or find a quiet space for a much-needed nap. The spaces also have dedicated play areas so the siblings of seriously ill children can have a bit of fun.
Our Family Rooms are staffed by passionate volunteers, providing friendly and compassionate support to the families that visit each day.
A Ronald McDonald House Family Room is a calm space away from the medical environment, where family stays close while taking a moment to breathe. During long days of tests and treatment, it gives families a place to rest, shower, grab a bit to eat, or simply pause.
When days feel never-ending, these small moments of care matter. In a Family Room, families can recharge, meet others walking a similar path, and regain the strength they need to be there for their child.
Take a break and be together as a family at the the Ronald McDonald Family Room located just outside J1 Ward at John Hunter Children’s Hospital.
Located in the John Hunter Children’s Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, our Family Room provides parents with a space close to their seriously ill baby.
Our Family Room at Gosford Hospital is located just outside the Children’s Ward on Level 4 and allows families to take a break away from the clinical environment.
Steps away from pediatric and intensive care units, our Ronald McDonald House Family Rooms offer a place for families to rest and regroup away from the medical environment.
We want to make sure families have a ‘home away from home’ inside the hospital, away from the clinical environment of the ward. That’s why our Family Rooms are purpose built for the free and exclusive use of parents, carers, guardians and their families with kids undergoing inpatient or outpatient treatment at John Hunter Children’s and Gosford Hospitals.
Our Family Rooms are staffed by passionate volunteers, providing friendly and compassionate support to the families in the space during operating hours.
