RMHC International Conference

RMHC colleagues from 58 countries gathered in Chicago for the 2024 RMHC International Conference.The event was a remarkable experience filled with connection, discussion, and inspiration.

 

From 100 learning sessions to a private screening of "Audrey's Children," a biopic about our co-founder, Dr. Audrey Evans, we shared unforgettable moments.

 

1,700+ members of the RMHC Family traveled from near and far to come together. Our dedication is the core of our mission, driving our efforts to provide essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families, and promote healing for children in need of healthcare.As we continue to celebrate our milestone anniversary this year, remember: we are 50 years young, and our work has just begun!

Meet Brynlee 

Meet the brave Brynlee! After weeks of cancer treatment, Brynlee decided it was time to say goodbye to her hair. Thanks to hats made by our dedicated volunteers, she's feeling better and facing each day with courage.

On October 10, 2024, wine-savvy, shoe-loving women will kick up their heels and sip fine wines and bubbly while shopping the latest shoes and accessories from fabulous fashion vendors, all to benefit our mission to provide a supportive place for families to stay while their child is receiving medical care.

Thank you! 

We would like to give a huge thank you to Dr. Steve Orlevitch and his wonderful team of nursing staff for their amazing donation of toys and over $6,000 to Arabella's Toy Store. Picking out a toy from Arabella's Toy Store is a special moment for so many children when they spend time at RMHCCI.
