Driving the future of family-centered care

Our programs help keep families emotionally and physically involved in their child’s healthcare

RMHC enables and promotes family-centered care, a critically important part of caring for, and supporting, children with serious medical conditions.

Family-centered care is an approach to healthcare where the entire family is fully supported, engaged, involved and able to make informed decisions about the care and support services provided to their sick child.
