Ronald McDonald House plans $10M expansion into Rapid City
Nonprofit says project will keep West River families close to care
A Ronald McDonald House is coming to Rapid City, marking the nonprofit’s first expansion into western South Dakota and offering a lifeline to families with children receiving medical treatment far from home.
Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Dakota (RMHC-SD) announced plans to build the new facility just blocks from Monument Health’s main campus. The 12-bedroom house will provide free lodging, meals and support to families of hospitalized children, with construction slated to begin in September and an opening expected by late 2026.
