The Ronald McDonald Family Room, Southland Hospital is an extension of the hospital that is directly connected to the Children’s and Neo Natal wards.
When families walk in, they forget they’re in a hospital – this is a place to rest and regroup just moments away from their children.
A home away from home for families who have children undergoing treatment at the hospital. There are also four overnight bedrooms, which are allocated on a daily basis by the Family Room Supervisor in consultation with the hospital’s medical staff.
Rooms are provided to families on a greatest need basis and each family’s individual situation is taken into consideration.
