About Ronald McDonald House Ottawa:
Ronald McDonald House Ottawa is a nonprofit organization that opens its doors to hundreds of families each year when they have children who are seriously ill or injured. We provide 36 private suites to families who live too far to commute and are located next to the hospital. We offer free parking, places to play, cook, rest, and connect with other families. We also operate two Family Rooms in the children’s hospital, which directly serve Ottawa’s core communities. All our programs surround families with the resources, services, and support they need—removing barriers so they can be at the heart of their child’s care.
