Ronald McDonald House Charities in Columbia, South Carolina, creates, finds and supports programs that directly improve the health and wellbeing of children. The group believes a family-centered care plan can significantly impact pediatric patients during their medical journey.
While the hospital focuses on the child’s physical health, RMHC focuses on aiding the family’s mental health. The charity’s cornerstone programs are the Ronald McDonald House and the Ronald McDonald Family Room, and both provide an essential respite for families to recharge so they can focus on their child’s recovery.
Children’s Home Society of North Carolina promotes the right of every child to a permanent, safe and loving family. As the leading private foster care and adoption agency in the state, CHS provides a range of services, from prevention to foster care to adoption and supports families to be the best they can be.
CHS programs help children achieve permanence through reunification, guardianship or adoption, improving child well-being and reducing the time children are in foster care. CHS positively impacts long-term effects of child trauma such as poverty, homelessness, unwanted pregnancies, substance abuse, violence, incarceration, untreated mental and physical health and multi-generational child abuse and neglect.
