The Ronald McDonald House family is celebrating the life of our co-founder, Dr. Audrey Evans. We are honored to continue her legacy of caring for families and children. ❤️

Today, we celebrate the life of our inspiring co-founder, Dr. Audrey Evans, who passed peacefully in her home in Philadelphia. She insightfully knew that “a sick child is a sick family,” and built a care model around this strongly held belief. This philosophy is what led her to create a place for parents to stay close to the hospital while their seriously ill children were being treated and on October 15, 1974, the first Ronald McDonald House opened its doors to families. Forty-eight years later, there are now 380 House programs in 45 countries and regions. We are honored to continue her legacy of caring for children & families. 💙 #KeepingFamiliesClose
