A Ronald McDonald House provides a "
home-away-from-home" for the
families of
seriously ill children receiving
treatment at nearby hospitals. While health care may be covered by
health insurance, it is rare for insurance to cover all of the cost for family members to temporarily move to the
hospital location (or somewhere nearby). This is most often used by families who live in
rural areas who must travel to a larger city for the child's treatment.
