About us

Mission: Ronald McDonald House Charities® of New Mexico (RMHC-NM) provides comfort, care and a home-away-from-home for families whose children are in medical treatment. Since 1982, the mission of RMHC-NM has remained constant and is not duplicated. RMHC-NM began providing temporary lodging and support services to hospitalized children and their families in October 1982. By December 1985, it had grown from the original eight rooms to 18, 10 baths, a large living room, two solariums, larger laundry and two kitchens. Over the years, the House changed to best meet the growing needs of our community. In 2008, the latest expansion doubled the size of the House to 30 family guestrooms and much larger public space. In 2021, in response to the growing need for our services, we opened our second House. The Highlands House, located inside a SpringHill Suites by Marriott, across the street from Presbyterian hospital, is the first of its kind in the world. Since we opened our doors, more than 50,000 families have called our Houses a home. In October 2007, RMHC-NM opened a Ronald McDonald Family Room at UNM Children’s Hospital. This program provides a respite room for families of pediatric in-patients. Over 600 family members visit the Family Room each month. A second Ronald McDonald Family Room will open at Presbyterian Hospital in April 2013. In addition to the respite space, this Family Room will also house four sleeping rooms to allow parents of pediatric patients to sleep overnight. The Ronald McDonald House plays a pivotal role in ensuring access to the best pediatric care in the region, particularly for under-served families.

  • 🧑🍳 Do you know what being a Guest Chef means for RMHC-NM? 🧑🍳 It means you provide a meal, whether you make it at one of our Houses or cater it, so that our families have a nice hot meal to enjoy. After a long day at the hospital and doctor's appointments, it's a real treat for them to come back to the Houses where a wonderful meal is waiting for them. There's still plenty of openings available for you to sign up in July and August at https://bit.ly/3voADjS!

  • It is an incredible feeling when we are able to help families with children undergoing medical treatment in New Mexico. Since opening our doors in 1982, we are very proud to have served over 61,000 families across our programs in New Mexico, including our Family Rooms. Thank you for continuing to support us so that we may support our families. ❤️

  • Meet the Rodriguez family! They came to stay with us all the way from Deming, NM, after Victoriana gave birth to their daughter back in February. The family checked in to the House soon after and had stayed with us for 91 nights. The Rodriguez family is now starting their new journey with baby Adriel. They were incredibly thankful to our staff and for all that they did for them during their stay. 💛

  • The Payan quadruplets, born in September 2018, became part of the RMHC-NM family after a challenging birth necessitated their stay at Yale House. Originally from Chihuahua, Mexico, Elia and Rafael Payan found themselves at UNM Hospital due to Elia's escalating blood pressure. Despite being only 27 weeks pregnant, Elia underwent an emergency c-section to protect both her and the babies. They remained at Yale House until each child was discharged from the hospital, returning for check-ups twice yearly. Their infectious energy and adorable smiles continue to brighten the Ronald McDonald House twice a year when the quads have their check-up appointments!
