Lunch on the House
On Thursday, March 8, we will host our second "Lunch on the House". During lunch, a medical leader will share advances in Rhode Island's pediatric healthcare, we will provide a brief overview of the House and the future of RMH Providence and then offer optional tours.
We encourage you to invite your circle friends or colleagues who may be interested in getting involved with RMH Providence.
Please RSVP to Jill Precopio by Wednesday, March 7. |
Family Feedback
Megan Jones, 28, a Connecticut resident, shares her story about her first pregnancy and how RMH Providence was there to help...
"At week 17 we discovered my baby had an abnormality of the stomach called Gastroschisis.
Logan was born with his intestines outside of his body. Luckily, he was born at week 37 so he was considered a full term baby and did not have any other complications.
We chose to have him at Women & Infants Hospital in Providence, RI because it has one of the best N.I.C.U.'s in the country. Unfortunately, we live in Connecticut and too far away from the hospital.
The Ronald McDonald House of Providence welcomed us with open arms. It was nice to have a hot meal every day, a comfortable bed to sleep in and to be able to focus on Logan without having to worry about day to day stresses.
Logan was in the hospital for over a month. I'm not sure what we would have done without the aid and support of the Ronald McDonald House of Providence." |
