Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) is an independent 501c3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to create, find, and support programs that directly improve the health and well being of children. From early on, the organization had deep support from Ray Kroc's empire. Gerald Newman, Chief Accounting Officer for McDonald's Corporation, was "one of the founders of Ronald McDonald Children's Charities and was president of R.M.H.C." RMHC has a global network of Chapters in 52 countries under three core programs, Ronald McDonald House, Ronald McDonald Family Room and Ronald McDonald Care Mobile. ==Programs== There are currently 322 Ronald McDonald's Houses in 57 countries and regions. Ronald McDonald Houses act as a place to stay for families with hospitalized children who are receiving treatment. Ronald McDonald's Houses provide over 7,200 bedrooms to families around the world each night, with an estimated value of $257 million in lieu of hotel costs. There are currently 161 Ronald McDonald's Family Rooms〔(Rmhc.org )〕 in 19 countries and regions. These Rooms accommodate over 3,000 families each day who live in the local community and don't need to stay at a Ronald McDonald House. They provide a place for family members to rest, wash clothes, take a shower, or nap near the vicinity of their child. There are currently 43 Ronald McDonald's Care Mobiles〔(Rmhc.org )〕 in 6 countries. Ronald McDonald Care Mobiles are mobile clinics that offer affordable health care for children in their own neighborhoods. The program serves more than 100,000 children a year, and saves families in the U.S. $10 million in medical and dental costs each year. The Ronald McDonald's Learning Program (Australia only) was formed in 1997 to help children who had suffered serious illness and returned to school. The stated mission of the program is to provide educational support to these children who have fallen behind in their education. The Ronald McDonald Learning Program is the only program of its kind in Australia. The Ronald McDonald's Learning Program supplies students with: * A Cognitive and Educational assessment by an Educational Psychologist * 40 hours of individual tutoring by a qualified teacher * 10 sessions of Speech or Occupational Therapy, if required 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ronald McDonald House Charities」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
