In the Family Room, we serve hot, cooked meals seven days a week for parents and caregivers. We have lunch three days a week and breakfast four days a week. In addition to this valued meal program, a hand reflexology is a program facilitated by Patricia Sanzone twice a month for an hour. All parents and caregivers are welcome to sign up for ten minute sessions.
The History Behind the RMH-NY Family Room
In 2012, Ronald McDonald House New York felt that it was time to take the care and compassion reserved for families in the House on the Upper East Side and extend its reach further into the communities that make up the five boroughs of NYC.
To that effort, RMH-NY created a hospital outreach program to help facilitate this extension of our programs and services out into the community.
By 2015, after solidifying partnerships with eight various hospital systems around the city, Ronald McDonald House New York saw an opportunity to create consistent outreach through the first ever Ronald McDonald Family Room at New York City Health + Hospitals/Kings County on Clarkson Street in Brooklyn.
The Ronald McDonald Family Room at Kings County Hospital officially opened its doors in the spring of 2016.
