...a place of hope
...a place where families find comfort in knowing they are only steps away from their child’s bedside
…it is a place to laugh and cry
...a place to gather strength and be comforted
...a place of warmth and light during some of life’s darkest moments
...this is the Ronald McDonald Family Room at DCH Tuscaloosa.
When families walk into the Ronald McDonald Family Room at DCH Tuscaloosa, we want them to forget they’re in a hospital.
