Our third Ronald McDonald Haus Wien Borschkegasse opened in June 2018 and is located directly next to Vienna General Hospital. Its comfortable family rooms provide a home away from home close to the hospital for 17 families.

With its light-filled rooms, large communal kitchen, play areas and garden terrace, the House is a place where families can recharge. They can maintain much of their family life and stay together during a difficult time. Staying close to family has been shown to accelerate the recovery of ill or injured children by up to one third.
