Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Houston/Galveston, Inc. (RMHC) is a Texas nonprofit organization created in 1990. RMHC is a local chapter of the Ronald McDonald House Charities system (Global) and under a licensing agreement shares a percentage of certain contributions with Global. RMHC is governed by its own board of directors. Members of the McDonald’s family serve as volunteers on the board and committees of RMHC, working along with other members of their community. RMHC’s mission is to create, find and support programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children. Program support includes: •Ronald McDonald Care Mobile is a two-room mobile medical unit that provides quality healthcare completely free of charge in the most medically under-served areas of our community. Operated by Texas Children’s Hospital, Ronald McDonald Care Mobile has a full-time doctor and nurse available throughout the week. In this three-room mobile unit, operated by University of Texas Health School of Dentistry, future dentists and dental hygienists gain educational experience through providing much needed dental care to under-served children throughout Houston. A donation of $10 can provide one vaccine and $50 could provide a dental screening. •Ronald McDonald C.H.E.E.R! Room (Children’s Health Education Enrichment Resource) provides a fun, colorful, welcoming environment and an educational place for children to wait while their mothers receive prenatal care at UTMB Regional Maternal and Child Health Program Clinics. The non-clinical staff keeps children occupied with age-appropriate mini-lessons in health and wellness allowing mothers to turn their attention to the healthcare providers giving them critical information about their own health and the health of their unborn baby. Locations: Conroe, Katy, Pasadena and Pearland.
