Ronald McDonald House New York Opens New Family Room at NYC Health + Hospitals/Metropolitan


In a recent segment on WPIX11, Ronald McDonald House New York celebrated the opening of its newest Family Room at NYC Health + Hospitals/Metropolitan. This comforting haven is the first of its kind designed specifically for outpatient families, located right in the waiting area of the outpatient services. The new Family Room provides a peaceful, supportive space where caregivers, siblings, and families can find respite while their children receive essential medical care.

The Metropolitan Family Room is the fourth such space RMH-NY has opened in partnership with NYC Health + Hospitals, marking a significant milestone in their mission to bring compassionate care to families throughout the city’s public hospital system. With the generous support of the Garden of Dreams Foundation, this Family Room has been thoughtfully designed to offer comfort and hope to families, thanks to the foundation’s unique ‘magical touch.’

This expansion demonstrates RMH-NY’s commitment to health equity, ensuring that families from all backgrounds have access to the support they need during some of life’s most challenging times. The new Family Room at Metropolitan is more than a physical space—it’s a symbol of care and community, bringing families closer together in times when they need it most.
