New Ronald McDonald House of Dallas
Today pediatric medical services in Dallas are expanding at an unprecedented rate as the result of Dallas’ growing reputation as a premier pediatric care destination. Consequently, the Ronald McDonald House of Dallas has experienced increasing demand for its services and must grow to accommodate the seriously ill and injured children and their families needing our services.
A new 60,000 square foot Ronald McDonald House
is being built in the Southwestern Medical District ½ mile from
Children’s Medical Center and 1 ½ miles from Texas Scottish Rite
Hospital for Children; the two largest referring hospitals to the
Ronald McDonald House. Please contact Courtney McLain, Director
of Development, at 214-631-7354 for information on participating
in this exciting new project.

- 54 Bedrooms with private bathrooms
- 6 transplant suites for children receiving bone marrow and organ transplants
- Playroom
- Game Room
- Library
- Small living areas

- Outdoor Play Area and Sport Court
- Day Respite Room where non resident families of sick children can gather, enjoy snacks, access the internet, do laundry, or simply relax
- Study loft
- Technological resources to assist children in keeping up with schoolwork and parents in telecommuting with work
The new House will have the same warm home like feel of the current House and continue to provide:
- Housing for up to five family members nightly
