Ronald McDonald House Greater Houston gives families with a seriously ill child what they need most – each other. Located in the Texas Medical Center, Ronald McDonald Houses keep families together, and close to their child’s medical services during a difficult and critical time. Our Houses provide many of the comforts of home, such as fully equipped kitchens, laundry facilities, recreation areas, private guest rooms, and more.
