A Home Away from Home While Staying at Primary Children’s Hospital

Research shows that kids cope more effectively and recover sooner when parents and family are in the hospital. When parents are close by, they can better communicate with their child’s medical team and help with sometimes-complicated treatment plans. They can also provide immediate support for their children.

This is exactly why we partner with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Intermountain Area to provide the Ronald McDonald Family Room. Located on the 3rd level of Primary Children’s Hospital, this amazing facility gives parents and family a place to rest and relax during the stresses and pressures of hospital visits.

First opened in 2013, the 3,500-square foot Ronald McDonald Family Room, the largest Family Room in the world, provides the comforts of home to families during their stay at Primary Children’s Hospital.
