Ronald McDonald House

The mission of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Louisiana is to provide a "home-away-from-home" to families of seriously ill children and to provide programs that give comfort, compassion and care to children and their families. The Ronald McDonald House accepts families of children 21 and under in age who are coming to New Orleans for medical treatment. These families must live at least 25 miles outside of New Orleans.

Long-term care of each patient is a collaborative effort among the Ochsner team. Affordable, apartment style accommodations are also available for out-of-area patients and their families during a patient’s care. Each apartment is furnished, has a full kitchen, and is located within walking distance of the hospital. Social workers can provide more information about these special accommodations.

Interpreter services are available for all languages, including American Sign Language for the deaf or hard of hearing, for all aspects of your care and treatment with us, at no charge to the patient. These services are available 24 hours/day, 7 days a week. The interpreter may be a face-to-face interpreter, an over-the-phone interpreter, or a video remote interpreter, and these services are coordinated through the International Services Department at 504-842-3719 Monday-Friday from 7am to 5pm. During all other times, the hospital phone operators act as a liaison to access interpreter services.
