The Ronald McDonald House of Central Illinois opened its Peoria location on December 16, 2019, after three years of planning and construction. The four-story house offers 22 mini-suites, each sleeping up to five guests, where families of children receiving treatment at any area hospital can stay free of charge—including meals. Shared spaces like the kitchen, dining room, game rooms, art studio, and playroom give families a place to reset and recharge so they can be the best advocate for their child, while also connecting with other families facing similar challenges. A specialized wing, the Dax Wing, serves pediatric cancer patients and immunocompromised visitors with separate accommodations.
