Families Served
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Chattanooga provides its services to those seeking healthcare in the greater Chattanooga area. The majority of those we serve reside in our home county of Hamilton County, or in counties in a 4-state area within a 75-mile radius of Chattanooga. However, the excellent healthcare in our area attracts patients from areas of the U.S. as well as occasionally from foreign countries. We are honored to be their “home away from home.”

“Keep up the good work! The Ronald McDonald Family Room really helped me through this traumatic time. Our friends and family live quite far away and can’t really make it out here very frequently so this made it a lot more comfortable.”
