Since 1979, Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities has been keeping families close when it matters most. We have hosted thousands of families as they care for a child who is receiving treatment for illness or injury. In a time of anxious uncertainty, we offer a comfortable place to call home that is in close proximity to their child’s care facility.
Our Mission
The mission of Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities is to provide essential services
that remove barriers, strengthen families, and promote healing when children need healthcare.
Our Vision
Families have access to care throughout their child’s healthcare journey.
Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
We believe all families should have access to care throughout their child’s healthcare journey in a community that celebrates the diverse backgrounds and thoughts of each member in our partnership of eligible families, employees, volunteers and donors. We strive to reflect the community we serve.
Our Core Values
Hospitality • Excellence • Affirmation • Respect • Teamwork
Removing Barriers to Access
Atlanta RMHC seeks to ensure life-saving healthcare accessibility regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, socioeconomic status, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, geography, marital status, disability or gender identity.
Our two Atlanta Ronald McDonald Houses, Ronald McDonald Care Mobile and Ronald McDonald Family Room are committed to welcoming all families and removing barriers to access. Our commitment to family-centered care is validated by research which demonstrates that supporting the family results in better outcomes for the family and their child.
