This resolution commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC), recognizing the organization's significant contributions to supporting families with children receiving medical care. The resolution highlights RMHC's mission to provide essential services that help families during challenging healthcare situations, noting the organization's growth from its first house in Philadelphia in 1974 to a global network of over 385 Ronald McDonald Houses, 270 Family Room programs, and 40 Care Mobiles across 62 countries. Specifically, the resolution acknowledges RMHC's five Michigan locations, which offer families a place to stay, eat, and find support while their children receive medical treatment. The organization's impact is underscored by providing 2.7 million overnight stays in 2023 and extending care beyond hospitals through mobile health services that offer dental care, medical diagnosis, treatment, and health education to underserved communities. The resolution celebrates RMHC's upcoming 50th anniversary from October 2024 to October 2025, honoring the organization's dedication to supporting families during critical healthcare experiences.
