First, they provide us a chance to serve families and children throughout the region, many of whom may be economically disadvantaged. Families can stay close to their hospitalized children while getting access to snacks, refreshments, and other nourishment to allow them to keep their strength and morale up while their child is in the hospital

Second, they alleviate the need for doctors and nurses to educate families on RMHC as we have a staff of volunteers present to answer questions and talk with families about their options for overnight and day guest services at the House.
