Madison, WI (May 29, 2025) — Ronald McDonald House Charities of Madison (RMHC-Madison) and Rogers Behavioral Health are proud to announce a new collaboration that will provide daytime access to the Ronald McDonald House for families whose children are receiving treatment at Rogers’ Madison clinic.
This collaboration expands RMHC-Madison’s mission of keeping families close by offering a welcoming and supportive environment for caregivers and siblings during the day while their child is receiving mental health treatment. Families can now enjoy a restful space filled with the comforts of home, including access to nourishing meals, laundry facilities, play areas for siblings, and quiet spaces to recharge while their child is in care.
“We are thrilled to welcome Rogers families into our House during the day,” said Stephanie Hayden, CEO of RMHC-Madison. “Navigating a child’s health journey, either physical or mental, can be overwhelming. The collaboration reflects a shared commitment by both organizations to support the whole family during a child’s medical journey — recognizing that healing happens best when families are cared for, too.”
Day-use families will be welcomed by RMHC-Madison’s caring staff and volunteers and have full access to the House’s communal amenities from morning through late afternoon. This service is offered at no cost to families, thanks to the generosity of RMHC-Madison donors and partners.
“At Rogers, we believe in the power of family involvement in the healing process,” said Cindy Meyer, president and CEO of Rogers Behavioral Health. “This collaboration with RMHC-Madison helps ease the emotional and practical burdens on parents and caregivers while their children receive vital treatment. Having a space to rest and recharge makes a meaningful difference in the whole family’s recovery journey.”
