NY1 recently spotlighted the grand opening of the Ronald McDonald Family Room at Montefiore Einstein, a newly opened space dedicated to supporting families with children undergoing complex medical treatment at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM) in the Bronx.
Located just across the street from CHAM, this Family Room offers a welcoming retreat for families who need a break from the hospital’s clinical environment. As NY1’s segment highlighted, the Family Room is designed with a range of features to provide comfort and relief, including cozy nap pods, a private kitchenette, a spacious lounge, and even overnight sleeping arrangements for caregivers who need a restful night close to their child’s side. ADA-compliant bathrooms and play spaces ensure that all families can access and enjoy the amenities.
This Family Room is a significant milestone in Ronald McDonald House New York’s commitment to culturally inclusive support, with NY1 noting its unique accommodations for the Bronx’s diverse population, including a dedicated focus on Middle Eastern families.
