When a child needs medical care, families need more than a place to stay. They need comfort, nourishment, rest and support, and they need it close to their child.
Ronald McDonald House Coastal Empire provides a network of programs designed to meet families wherever they are in their child’s medical journey.
From a welcoming room just steps from pediatric care to a quiet place inside the hospital, to comfort delivered directly to a child’s bedside, our programs share one purpose:
Keeping families close when it matters most.
Located just steps 176 steps from pediatric care in Savannah, our Ronald McDonald House provides families with comfortable guest rooms, home-cooked meals, laundry facilities, gathering spaces and a supportive community, all without having to choose between being close to their child and having a place to rest.
For families facing days, weeks or even months of treatment, the House provides something hospitals cannot: a place for family life to continue.
Sometimes families can’t, or simply don’t want to, go far from their child’s bedside.
Our Ronald McDonald House Family Rooms provide welcoming spaces inside local hospitals where families can rest, recharge, grab a snack or take a quiet moment away from the clinical environment while remaining close to their child.
Ronald McDonald House Coastal Empire operates Family Rooms at Memorial Health Children’s Hospital and St. Joseph’s/Candler.
There are moments when leaving a child’s bedside isn’t an option. That’s when we bring Ronald McDonald House directly to the family.
Our Hospitality Carts travel throughout the hospital offering families complimentary snacks, beverages, personal care items and other everyday essentials, along with a caring smile and reminder that someone is thinking about them.
It may seem like a small gesture.
During a difficult day, small comforts can mean everything.
Whether a family stays with us overnight, finds a few moments of rest in a Family Room or receives a simple comfort from a Hospitality Cart, every Ronald McDonald House Coastal Empire program is built around the same belief:
Families are stronger when they are together.
Our programs remove everyday barriers so parents and caregivers can spend less time worrying about where they’ll sleep, what they’ll eat or how they’ll manage—and more time where they want to be.
With their child.
