The Ronald McDonald Family Room offers parents with inpatient infants and children a special place of respite, relaxation and privacy within the walls of the University of New Mexico Children’s Hospital and Presbyterian Hospital, allowing them to stay within steps of their child’s bedside. Here, they can take a much-needed break from the ongoing stress of beeping monitors and busy intensive care units.

For a donation of $800, Friends of the Family Room Program sponsorship will provide one month of snacks, beverages, and supplies to be used in both Family Rooms for the more than 600 parents served by the program monthly.
