Ronald McDonald Care Mobile
Medical Center Hospital and Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of the Southwest have partnered to bring the state-of-the-art Ronald McDonald Care Mobile program to our area. A medical clinic on wheels, the Care Mobile brings medical care and health information directly into local neighborhoods with unmet healthcare needs for ECISD students, siblings and their minor children up to the age of 18.
