PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- The 27,000-square-foot, three-story "Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House at Front and Erie" will officially open its doors on Monday, January 7, 2008 - providing families whose children are receiving medical treatment at area hospitals with lodging, comfort and support. To commemorate the grand opening, the House will host an inaugural house-lighting ceremony on Thursday, January 3 at 6:00 p.m. Families, friends and supporters will be in attendance.
"The expansion of the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House to the campus of St. Christopher's Hospital allows us to continue our mission of providing a 'home away from home' for families traveling to Philadelphia for their children's health care," said Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House Executive Director Susan Campbell.
"When a child is sick it puts a tremendous stress on the entire family. Helping them eliminate one part of that stress in knowing that they have a place to stay near their child, is immeasurable," said John Durante, McDonald's(R) owner/operator and president of Ronald McDonald House Charities(R) of the Philadelphia Region, Inc. "With this current expansion, we can continue our mission of providing a haven for families in their time of need."
The House includes 15 guest rooms, two living rooms, a fitness area, laundry facilities, and a family-style kitchen and dining area. It will provide a home for families of children being treated at area hospitals including St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, Temple University Children's Medical Center and Shriners Hospital.
