What We Do

Ronald McDonald House®

The Jacksonville Ronald McDonald House is the cornerstone program of Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Jacksonville. The 30-bedroom facility offers lodging and other support services for families with critically ill, chronically ill or seriously injured children being treated in Jacksonville. Since 1988, the House has served more than 29,500 families. The services provided to families staying at the House help to reduce the amount of stress placed upon them while their child is undergoing medical care. Families are kept together and close to the hospital in an environment that supports their physical and emotional needs. 

Ronald McDonald Family Room® 

The Family Room is a place of respite inside Wolfson Children's Hospital that provides a restful atmosphere, snacks and volunteer support to the families that utilize the program. The Family Room opened in 1993 thanks to the wonderful support of Mary Virginia and the late C. Herman Terry.

Ronald McDonald Care Mobile®

The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile is a mobile healthcare facility operated by St. Vincent's Mobile Outreach Ministry and funded by St. Vincent's HealthCare Foundation. Since 2004, the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile has visited middle and high schools in underserved Jacksonville communities. Medical professionals provide physicals, vaccinations and diagnostic testing through the program.

Community Outreach

As a Chapter of Ronald McDonald House Charities, opportunities exist to go beyond the work of the core programs to fund local children's healthcare programs. RMHC Jacksonville will use funds raised through McDonald's donation box collections and store promotions combined with matching grants from RMHC Global to develop outreach projects.
