WHY WE RUN: To support families with children receiving care in the Medical Center for a serious illness or injury. We provide a home away from home for these families.
Founded in 1978, the mission of RMHC Greater Houston is to offer a home away from home providing care, compassion, and hope to families with seriously ill children being treated in Texas Medical Center member institutions. The House provides a place to find rest and respite, activities, meals, and snacks for our families, at no cost.
We serve children and families at four locations:
Holcombe House - 70 Bedrooms
Texas Children's Hospital - 19 Bedrooms
Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital - 20 Bedrooms
MD Anderson Children's Cancer Hospital - 2 Bedrooms
In addition to our Houses, RMHC Greater Houston also has a CareMobile that goes to local communities to provide immunizations and well checks for school aged children.
