Ronald McDonald House Charities® Alberta (RMHC Alberta) is passionate about providing a home away from home for families with seriously ill or injured children who must travel for medical care.
We know that a family with a sick child is a sick family.  Our Ronald McDonald Houses provide a warm, compassionate and comfortable environment where families can share experiences, receive respite and distraction, eat a warm homemade meal and rest, all while caring for their child at the hospital next door.
RMHC Alberta is part of a global network of Houses, Family Rooms, Care Mobiles and Comfort Carts prioritizing family-centered care through delivery of our unique core programs. RMHC Alberta operates four Houses offering private family suites, and Comfort Carts that deliver bedside services in hospital. 
We’re currently engaged in a multi-year, $80M capital campaign to reduce the service gap by tripling our capacity in Calgary and Edmonton. Calgary is increasing the number of suites from 27 to 91. Construction on an expanded facility in Calgary is currently underway and scheduled for completion this year. The completed Calgary facility will be 105,000 square feet, offering family suites and a multitude of common areas that enhance the family experience within our communal living environment. Tentatively Edmonton will expand from 36 suites to approximately 100 suites. The expansion critical path in it’s entirety is 5-7 years.
