The Ronald McDonald House of Long Island is a &#8220home-away-from home” for families who are caring for seriously ill children undergoing medical treatment in area hospitals. Located on the campus of Schneider Children's Hospital, the House accommodates families in a warm and supportive environment. Since opening in 1986, more than 9,000 families from the United States and more than 62 countries around the world have been served.  Most families are from Nassau and Suffolk Counties, as well as from the five boroughs of New York City.
