Bakersfield Ronald McDonald House
Located at Bakersfield Memorial Hospital, the Bakersfield Ronald McDonald House is a place where the families of Kern County pediatric patients at any hospital can go to take a break from the hospital environment. It serves as a home away from home that gives the non-hospitalized part of the family a sense of normalcy in a time when their world is upside down. Keeping families close to each other and the care they need is a goal of the Bakersfield Ronald McDonald House. For more information please visit their website.

Valley Fever Americas Foundation
The Valley Fever Americas Foundation was founded by Bakersfield Rotarians concerned about the impact of Valley Fever on our community and on all endemic regions. Due to the nature of the disease, the only practical way to prevent Valley Fever is through development of a vaccine, a project the foundation has been devoted to promoting since its inception. Until a vaccine and cure are available, our organization recognizes the critical role that awareness plays in the prevention and early diagnosis of Valley Fever. Understanding the conditions in which Valley Fever is most likely to be contracted can prevent further suffering and loss throughout our community, and being familiar with its symptoms empowers victims of this disease to be diagnosed early and increase their chances of making a full recovery.
