Sleepover!


Fifteen incredibly beautiful overnight rooms opened at the Ronald McDonald House inside Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota, Minneapolis on February 7th, 2011. The opening of the bedrooms rounded out the 8,500 square foot House which opened November 1st, 2010. The House Inside the Hospital (HIH) also includes two living rooms, a stocked pantry, kitchen, exercise area, computer lab and an outdoor patio just steps away from the inpatient units. As the 5th House inside the hospital in the country, we are honored to provide a respite from the hospital environment, a sense of community, a good night's sleep, home-cooked meals and hot showers to our 400+ registered families who average 130 visits a day. Days at the HIH consist of families playing board games, cooking meals, relaxing in front of the fireplace, running on the treadmill and visiting with their loved ones. In a word, it’s just like “home.”
