A family with a sick child is a sick family. In those stressful, challenging moments, RMHC Atlantic's support extends to the whole family - ensuring siblings have a place to play, parents have a place to relax, and families have a place to feel at home.

We're often touched to hear of the memories that our families make while visiting us. One frequent highlight? Making goo! It's as much fun for our visitors as it is for volunteers!

When a child is sick, their family is the centre of their care and recovery process. Keeping families together and near the health care their child needs is the driving force behind everything we do here at RMHC Atlantic.
