Objective: We sought to evaluate the use of the Ronald McDonald House (RMH) for selected high-risk pregnant women.
Methods: Beginning in November of 1999, women on the Maternal Fetal Medicine service at Albany Medical Center Hospital (AMCH) were candidates for antepartum lodging at the Ronald McDonald House (RMH). Women whose only indication for antepartum hospitalization was to maintain proximity to a tertiary care center were offered stays at the RMH.
