Ronald McDonald House Charities of Ottawa will soon more than double its capacity.
Located next to CHEO, the charity has served over 170,000 families since it first opened in 1984.
Last year alone, RMHC Ottawa saved families $1.9 million in out-of-pocket costs.
While CHEO’s patient population continues to grow, RMHC Ottawa’s capacity has remained the same for 40 years, and its wait list is also growing.
Last week (June 6th) Ronald McDonald House Charities of Ottawa announced a major expansion from 14 to 36 suites.
When doors open in early 2025, RMHC Ottawa will more than double its capacity to help.
Better yet, the crucial expansion will be carbon neutral, and Rick Hansen gold certified.
