RMHC Bay Area Research Presentation: Food Insecurity & Childcare

15 Jun RMHC Bay Area Research Presentation: Food Insecurity & Childcare

Posted on Jun 15 by

Ronald McDonald House Charities Bay Area has partnered with the Stanford School of Medicine to conduct program assessment research on two key topics — food insecurity and childcare — that will be used to inform family-centered program delivery, strategic priorities, and impact sharing.

Topics:

  • Food Insecurity Among Families at Our Partner Hospital Childcare
  • Needs Assessment at Ronald McDonald House Stanford

As we continue to evolve to respond effectively to family needs, it is essential that we regularly evaluate the impact of and need for our family-centered programs. Pediatric residents from Stanford Medicine, Dr. Meghan Schmitt, and Dr. Laura Rose, partnered with us to conduct program assessment research that will advance our mission to be there for sick kids and their families, providing comfort and support when and where they need it most.
