Ronald McDonald House Charities of Denver





 

Who We Are
For 40 years, RMHC-Denver has been keeping families of sick children together and near the medical care that they need. We provide temporary housing for out-of-area families needing to be near their hospitalized children at no cost to them.  Between our two houses, the Aurora House and the Denver House, we’re able to keep 118 families close to their hospitalized children each night. In addition, we operate four Ronald McDonald Family Rooms which offer families a place to rest and regroup just steps away from their child’s hospital bed and our Ronald McDonald Care Mobile program provides medical services to uninsured, or under insured families.

It Started in Philadelphia
After learning their 3 year old daughter Kim had leukemia, Eagles tight end Fred Hill and his wife vowed to remain by her side at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Sleep-deprived and nourished only by vending machines, they met others despairing in waiting rooms, parents far from home. Hill's NFL teammates rallied and with the support of local McDonald's owners, the dream of pediatric oncologist Dr. Audrey Evans for a home-away-from-home for these families came true. Today, more than ten million families have been guests at over 370 Ronald McDonald Houses worldwide. And it all began in Philadelphia when the very first House opened October 15, 1974.
