About The Ronald McDonald House
The Long Beach Ronald McDonald House was created as a “home away from home” for families of seriously ill children receiving care at a nearby medical facility. Open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, the House provides comfortable rooms,meals, laundry services, and a network of caring support that keeps families intact and able to focus on the medical and emotional needs of their child. We believe the love and support of family is as powerful as the strongest medicine prescribed.
