About our Organization
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Arizona (RMHC®-SA) envisions a world where every family has what they need to ensure the best health outcomes for their child. Since 1981, the Ronald McDonald House® in Tucson has provided a warm and welcoming “home-away-from-home” for families with critically ill children that have traveled to Tucson for medical care. Some stay a few days. Some stay a few months. We offer them all a comfortable place to stay in a loving, supportive environment – all at no cost to the families.
We also serve all families at Banner Children’s Diamond Children’s Medical Center and TMC for Children with the Ronald McDonald Family Room® programs – places for family members to rest and regroup just steps from their child’s bedside. We partner with local Federally Qualified Health Centers on two Ronald McDonald Care Mobile® programs to provide dental care to children in underserved areas. In December 2024, we opened the RMHC Sibling Center in connection with the Play Zone at Banner Diamond Children’s.
Inclusion and belonging are core values at Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Arizona. We are passionate about building and sustaining a welcoming and equitable environment for all staff, volunteers, and guests. We believe every member of our team enriches our diversity by exposing us to a broad range of ways to understand and engage with the world, by identifying challenges, and by discovering, designing and delivering solutions.
RMHC-SA offers a competitive salary with a strong benefits package, including medical (100% paid for employee, plus 70% for family), dental, and vision insurance (both 50% for employee), retirement savings matching, and a generous PTO plan.
