Here Comes Ronald!
If your child was in critical condition at the Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital at Westchester Medical Center, most likely you’d want to stay close by at all times. That is why the Hospital has partnered with the Ronald McDonald House Charities to construct a home away from home for families, particularly those with children in the Neonatal or Pediatric Intensive Care Units. The Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley contains 12 bedrooms, private bathrooms, two kitchens, as well as dining, living and playrooms. Families are able to live as comfortably as they would at home, receive support from families in similar situations and be present for all their child’s needs. www.worldclassmedicine.com.
