Ronald McDonald House • Part-time • Calgary, Alberta • 1m ago

Ronald McDonald House® Alberta is passionate about providing a home away from home for families with seriously ill or injured children who must travel for medical care.

We know that a family with a sick child is a sick family.  Our Ronald McDonald Houses provide a warm, compassionate and comfortable environment where families can share experiences, receive respite and distraction, eat a warm homemade meal and rest, all while caring for their child at the hospital next door.

Ronald McDonald House® Alberta is part of a global network of Houses, Family Rooms, Care Mobiles and Comfort Carts prioritizing family-centered care through delivery of our unique core programs. Ronald McDonald House® Alberta operates four Houses offering private family suites, and Comfort Carts that deliver bedside services in hospital.
