“Heart” is something that Ronald McDonald House and Children’s Heart Center certainly have in common. CHC has provided medical care for children with congenital heart disease since 1980. The House has provided lodging, meals, and transportation for countless families since its inception 15 years ago. Both put patients and families first.
The partnership continues to grow. Irma Casanova, a Social Worker at CHC says, “I can’t remember a time when at least one of our families wasn’t staying at Ronald McDonald House”. “Ronald McDonald House goes above and beyond to take care of our heart families!”
The physicians and staff of CHC care for the entire family. Having a child with a serious heart condition can place a tremendous strain on everyone. CHC works hard to try alleviate as much of that stress as possible. CHC provides education, counseling, grief recovery services, and moderates support groups.
Through its Family Assistance Support Team and non-profit Children’s Heart Foundation, CHC identifies and aids families in need of financial, travel, and medical emergency assistance, clothing, meals, toys, etc. Steven Eisen, CEO of CHC says, “Ronald McDonald House is a critical resource for the many families that travel to Las Vegas to receive state-of-the-art cardiac care”.
Thank you Ronald McDonald House for all that you have done and continue to do for our heart families! And thank you for naming Children’s Heart Center Nevada your House Hero 2013! What an AMAZING honor!
