In Toronto alone, the house which opened in 1981, currently only has 81 rooms, 15 of those being two bedroom suites. The house allows 246 families each year but unfortunately 573 are wait listed due to lack of space.
In addition to the houses,RMHC also offers family rooms, a place of peace and calm within a hospital.
