Summary
Lori Moore, North Louisiana Mission Director for the Ronald McDonald House, updated the Bossier City Council on the new facility, saying it opened Nov. 3, 2025, offers free suites and services to families of critically ill children, and that 21% of the first 90 days of guests were from Bossier City, saving those families over $10,000.
Lori Moore, North Louisiana Mission Director for the Ronald McDonald House, told the Bossier City Council that the new facility opened on Nov. 3, 2025, and is already serving families of critically ill children in the region.
Moore summarized the house’s services and mission: “Our mission is to remove barriers, promote healing, and strengthen families when children need access to health care,” she said. She described on-site suites, evening meals, laundry, transportation and indoor and outdoor play spaces, and invited council members and staff to tour the facility.
Moore provided an early usage figure: in the first 90 days after opening, 21% of families served were from Bossier City; she said that saved those families more than $10,000 in combined costs. When council members asked about eligibility, Moore clarified the house serves families with children in neonatal or pediatric intensive care units at Shreveport hospitals and that, while the house sits on the campus of one hospital, it serves families from the broader region.
The presentation closed with Moore’s request for ongoing community support and an invitation to officials to visit the site. The council had no substantive debate and moved on to routine business.
