COVID/Program Update (August 2020) At this time, we are accepting limited referrals for new guests who need a place to stay while their child is receiving treatment at one of our local partner hospitals.
The Orange County Ronald McDonald House is committed to providing clean and healthy family-centered spaces for families to rest, recharge, and connect with one another. The health and well-being of our guest families, staff and the communities in which we serve is always our top priority.
In order to protect the safety of current guests and staff, new families wishing to stay in the Orange County Ronald McDonald House must receive a negative test result within 3 days of utilizing our services from an approved COVID testing facility. Our staff is able to assist in locating a nearby free testing facility and to answer questions about our current guest policies.
We are closely monitoring this situation to ensure the steps we take to address COVID-19 are in the best interest of the families we serve. We will continue to follow the guidance and recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, California Department of Public Health, World Health Organization, and our local partner hospitals as we navigate this situation.
