The mission of Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities (ARMHC) is to promote the health and well-being of children and their families. This institution adopted digital signage several years ago as an efficient way to communicate important and urgent information to families., volunteers and donors.

The two Atlanta-area homes provide housing for parents so they can stay close to their hospitalized children without incurring additional hotel and dining expenses..

On the other hand, in the hospitals themselves, these families have access to the Ronald McDonald family room, a space where they can enjoy a few moments of rest while taking care of their children and waiting for the meeting with the medical staff.

They also have the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile, a van of 12 meters long by two and a half wide that functions as a fully functional medical clinic dedicated to providing asthma care to children.

In the peachtree Dunwoody house four screens, side by side, are located in a busy corridor to which families, visitors, donors and volunteers access every day.

These show a combination of donor and event information, along with information about the history of Ronald McDonald House and its mission to serve families who need access to vital health care for their children. The screens also convey messages of thanks to donors who have contributed and to volunteers who help there..

For its part, the Gatewood house has installed a screen to communicate the schedules of the weekly dinners and the organizational information.

"Our previous system in the facilities did not respond to all the requirements we needed", Says Wendy Reiser Cromwell, Digital Marketing Manager at Ronald McDonald House Atlanta.
