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.
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.
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.
