We believe when families are together, they cope better. We believe no family should have to deal with their child’s medical crisis alone.
Our values are the foundation that supports these beliefs and brings them into action – for our staff, our board, and our treasured volunteers and supporters.
The mission of RMHC is to provide essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families, and promote healing when children need healthcare. Our vision is a world where all children have access to medical care and their families are supported and actively involved in their children’s care.
It all began in 1973 when Philadelphia Eagles football player Fred Hill and his wife, Fran, learned that their daughter, Kim, had leukemia. While receiving treatment at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, they met other families who drove hours to the hospital to be with their children, only to sleep overnight in waiting room chairs and eat from vending machines because they had nowhere else to go.
Fred and Fran Hill decided to do something for these families, teaming up with the Philadelphia Eagles, Dr. Audrey Evans, and local McDonald’s owner/operators. McDonald’s gift of Shamrock Shake proceeds made it possible to purchase and restore a house near the hospital where these families could stay, and the first Ronald McDonald House was born.
