nib partners with Ronald McDonald House

Health insurer, nib New Zealand, has launched a new partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) that will help make a difference to the lives of thousands of families.

RMHC supports families when their child is in a hospital away from home. Each and every year, they offer thousands of families across New Zealand accommodation and support free of charge. This helps to relieve stresses like paying for a place to sleep near the hospital, cooking family meals and needing a friendly ear to listen on tough days.

nib’s chief executive Rob Hennin, said that joining RMHC New Zealand as a Premier Partner was an easy decision, with the two organisations sharing a common commitment to standing by families through thick and thin.

“When a child is in hospital, especially for longer periods of time, it’s about so much more than just financial support. It’s not having to worry about finding a place to stay nearby, or about getting lunch or dinner on the table, or getting your other kids to school. It’s about having someone around who understands what you’re going through and who you can talk to when things get tough,” Hennin said.
