Directions to the Washington, D.C. Ronald McDonald House
3727 14th St. NE Washington, D.C. 20017 202-529-8204
The new Washington, D.C. Ronald McDonald House opened its doors in December 2010 and serves patients from Children’s National Medical Center, Georgetown University Hospital, National Rehabilitation Hospital and several other area hospitals. The 26-bedrooms House includes common family and support areas, a family kitchen and dining room, a family library and computer room, a family laundry room. Our newest Home-Away-From-Home also offers special isolation suites for our most immune-compromised patients. Ronald McDonald Houses are supported by volunteers and staff, but more importantly, the Houses continue to be a quiet refuge where families in similar circumstances can support and comfort each other.
The original Washington Ronald McDonald House opened it’s doors in June of 1980, and was the sixteenth House to open in the six years since the program began. Over thirty years it was a home-away-from-home for more than 14,000 families of critically ill children. Although the nearly one hundred-year-old Spanish colonial had served our purposes well, it no longer met the space or functional needs of our growing number of families. In 2006, a Capital Campaign was launched to raise funds to build the new House located on 14th Street NE.
