| |
| Shriners Hospitals for Children is a network of pediatric
specialty hospitals, founded by the Shrine, where children under the age
of 18 receive excellent medical care absolutely free of charge. |
|
|
| There are 18 orthopaedic Shriners Hospitals, three
Shriners Hospitals dedicated to treating children with severe burns, and
one Shriners Hospital that provides orthopaedic, burn and spinal cord
injury care. |
|
|
| Shriners Hospitals are located throughout
North America — 20 in the United States and one each in Mexico and
Canada. These "Centers of Excellence" serve as major referral
centers for children with complex orthopaedic and burn problems. |
| |
|
 There
is never a charge to the patient, parent or any third party for any
service or medical treatment received at Shriners Hospitals. Shriners
Hospitals accept and treat children without regard to race, religion or
relationship to a Shriner. Any child may be eligible for treatment at a
Shriners Hospital if the child is under 18 and if, in the opinion of the
hospital's chief of staff, the child has an orthopaedic or burn
condition that Shriners Hospitals can help.
