About this organization
Mission
The mission of Ronald McDonald House Charities® of the Ozarks, Inc. (RMHC®) (formerly Helping Parents Cope, Inc.) is to create, find and support programs that directly improve the health and well being of children in the Ozarks. Our first core program is the Ronald McDonald House®, where we provide a "home away from home", hope and comfort for families of seriously ill and injured children receiving medical treatment in Springfield. Our two Ronald McDonald Houses have embraced 9,851 families during a time of unspeakable hardship. The first Ronald McDonald House opened near Cox South Hospital on March 20, 1988. Our second House opened on the 6th floor of Mercy Children's Hospital on November 30, 2012. To further our Ronald McDonald House mission, staff and volunteers have proudly worked in partnership with Mercy Children’s Hospital since 2010 to provide individually-packaged snacks and food items for families with children in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Pediatric Unit, and St. Jude Clinic. Each week, the Ronald McDonald House delivers items to each kitchen and nourishment cart to help alleviate the additional financial burden on families. In 2013 we expanded these services to include a nourishment basket in the Labor and Delivery Bereavement Room. In 2014, the Mercy Sleep Lab and NICU were added to the areas we supply with snack items. The Happy Wheels Program was launched in January 2014 for the primary purpose of ensuring that all families needing the Houses are learning about our services. In 2014, more than 2,100 care bags and snack items were provided to families and children within Cox South and Mercy departments that refer to the Ronald McDonald Houses. Our second core program is the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile®, fondly known as the "Tooth Truck". We provide dental treatment and prevention education for at risk children, primarily in school-based settings. The Tooth Truck is a joint project between RMHC of the Ozarks and the Tooth Truck, Inc. and has provided 42,725 dental appointments for 17,463 children since July 8, 2002. This dental treatment is valued at $10,065,950. The Tooth Truck launched a daily Brushing Program for early childhood education students at one school in 2011. By the end of 2014, the program has been implemented in 6 schools with 32 classrooms and 3 Boys & Girls Clubs. The Brushing Program will be expanded over 3 years and formally named, thanks to a grant from the Missouri Foundation for Health in late 2014. In a spirit of service, we are deeply committed to our roles as “thoughtful stewards” of Ronald McDonald House Charities’ programs and resources. This level of commitment is our standard, and an ideal we all constantly strive for ... as board members, staff, and volunteers.
