| Facilities help in the hospitals |
|
As we feel any child's visit to hospital
should be as comfortable as possible, we fund a range
of Ronald McDonald Family Facilities within Hospitals.
RMHC has funded four major projects in hospitals around
Australia – Sydney Children's Hospital, Illawarra
Regional Hospital, Wollongong Northern Hospital, Victoria
and Women's and Children's Hospital, Adelaide –
they meet specific family needs and provide practical
and direct assistance during treatment.
Facilities available include children's wards, children's
treatment clinics and RMHC Care-By-Parent Units like the
one in Sydney Children's Hospital, Randwick:
The first RMHC Care-By-Parent Unit, it was opened in 1998
and provides accommodation for the families of seriously
ill children who no longer require on-ward treatment,
but who still need hospital care. It features 12 rooms,
a 7-room parents' retreat, a Sleep Studies Unit and offers
24-hour nursing, parent support education on post treatment
care. RMHC contributed $1.1 million to the refurbishment
and development of the Unit. |
