To make your stay at the hospital a little easier, we partnered with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Intermountain area to build two Ronald McDonald Family Rooms in the hospital. Families needing a place for an extended stay can visit the local Ronald McDonald House, located less than 2 miles from the hospital.  

COVID-19 Restrictions

To help protect our patients, families, and caregivers, we have implemented the following restrictions in the Ronald McDonald Family Room as precautions against the spread of COVID-19. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns. 

  • 2nd floor Family Room is temporarily closed
  • 3rd floor Family Room is running at limited capacity - currently open every day from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. (subject to change). Parents are able to come get “grab-and-go” food, do laundry, and take a shower.

We are continually evaluating this situation and will reopen Family Room services when possible. Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep our community safe.
