Ronald McDonald House Family Room
Located on the fifth floor of UAMS Medical Center, the Ronald McDonald House Family room is a 2020 addition to our hospital. The new space features four overnight rooms for parents and siblings of patients in the NICU. It is staffed and operated by Ronald McDonald House Arkansas & North Louisiana and has a common area for day use by all NICU families.
How the Ronald McDonald House Family Room Works
The Ronald McDonald House Family Room offers 2,000 square feet of space for families and siblings of NICU babies. It can accommodate overnight stays by families with older children and can be used by all NICU families as a common area during the day. The Ronald McDonald House Family Room helps families with older siblings feel at home and provide a place to connect with other families.
