When your child falls ill and requires complex medical treatment far from home, attending school is often not a possibility.
The Ronald McDonald Learning Program (RMLP) aims to bridge the gap for students whom often miss out on school due to a medical illness.
Western Australia is one of the most isolated health jurisdictions in the world. It can create mental health and well-being challenges for young WA patients and their families who need to access complex or critical healthcare in Perth for weeks, months and sometimes over years.
Far from home, jobs, schools and communities; financial and emotional burden can adversely affect a family’s life, well-being and importantly, the patient experience and outcomes.
Ronald McDonald House Charities WA’s (RMHC WA) purpose is to keep patients and families together and resilient. To achieve this, RMHC WA’s supported accommodation, facilities and programs integrate with hospital infrastructure to optimise efficiencies, patient access and experience of healthcare – 24/7, 365 days a year.
Ronald McDonald House Charities’ family-centred care model is globally renowned for the quality and efficacy of its service. The model recognises family well-being as a critical foundation to short and longer-term outcomes for young patients beyond their hospital treatment.
