A kitchen provides nourishment to families when they return from a day at the hospital. The Visiting Chef kitchen is a special place for friends in the community to prepare a meal for families staying at RMHC, and with the expansion, will allow families to cook together even when Visiting Chefs are creating a meal.

A room for hugs, quality time spent together and creating loving memories that will never be forgotten. The living room is central to comfort and relaxation in a home-like setting away from the medical environment to just get away for a moment.

Pass the “plate” — a place to gather together for a shared, hot meal. As the dining room will expand, so will the opportunity for families to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner together. The segmentation of the dining area includes tables that families can share or create their own space for a lovely time spent together while getting started or winding down for the day.

A peaceful oasis where families and children can enjoy the outdoors, play, and share stories. The Central Courtyard brims with opportunities for kids to be kids, whether that looks like riding tricycles around on the sidewalks or delighting in a picnic with family and friends.

A place to host meetings, conferences, and gatherings for our families, friends, and staff. The community room acts as a large multi-purpose space for activities and recreation as well as an area for RMHC staff to contribute to high-quality, family-centered care.

For the sweetheart, the baker, the place to equip sweets and treats for loved ones. In utilization with the kitchen, the sweets and treats area allows more area for families, visiting chefs, and friends to cook meals.

A respite from the hospital, but just moments from a child’s bedside for families to rest and regroup. Each Family Guest Suite is more than just a room to sleep in, they are designed to keep families together when they need it most.

(3 available) A station that welcomes compassion, hospitality, and amenities for comfort. With three new Hospitality Stations throughout the three wings of the House, families can easily access snacks, drinks, and more at all times and on the go without stopping by one particular room.

A lounge to cozy up together and focus on the most important thing in life: Family. The new Family Lounge provides an area of peaceful respite where families and caregivers can spend some quiet time, engage in conversation, and enjoy a snack.

 (2 available) A happy laundry room means a happy House and a happy family. With two fully stocked laundry rooms, families will wash and dry their clothing items without needing to leave or travel far from their rooms.

A safe environment for children to explore, develop their creativity, and build friendships. The Indoor Playroom provides a magical play space and welcome escape for kids to enjoy being a kid, bond with siblings, and bring smiles to each child’s face.

A therapy of its own — grounded in the physicality of movement, strength training, and cardio. The current House does not have space for an indoor gym, but with this expansion, this active space brings a touch of stress relief into temporarily uprooted lives.
