Help provide families across Eastern Idaho care, comfort, and support when they need it most!

The Ronald McDonald Family Room in Idaho Falls provides comfort and support to families with ill or injured children receiving medical care at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center (EIRMC). We are just steps away from the neonatal intensive care unit.

In 2024 612 families were served at the Family Room, for over 4,400 visits. The Family Room has 4 sleep rooms, a kitchen, laundry facilities, and provides meals three times a day, 365 days of the year. We provide families with a home-like environment where they can get something to eat, take a shower, do laundry, watch television, take a nap, or even stay the night, all within steps of their ill or injured child. Any family with a child at EIRMC is able to use the Family Room, whether they live right in Idaho Falls or traveled from outside the area.

Having a child in the hospital is a huge financial burden for families. There is no cost for families to use RMHC of Idaho’s services and thanks to generous donations from the community, which make it possible for us to care for families so they can concentrate on the health of their child. 100% of the funds raised stay local to support RMHC of Idaho programs.
