Shriners Children's

Shriners Children's is a nonprofit healthcare system focused on providing specialized pediatric care to children, regardless of their family's financial situation or insurance status. Established in 1922 by members of Shriners International, the organization initially concentrated on pediatric orthopedic care and has since expanded to include services for burn care, spinal cord injury rehabilitation, cleft lip and palate treatment, and sports injuries.

The system operates hospitals, clinics, outpatient centers, and telehealth sites across North America, delivering advanced medical care to children with complex conditions. Shriners Children's is recognized for its commitment to innovation and compassionate care, with specialized facilities like the pediatric burn hospital in Galveston, Texas, known for its contributions to burn treatment and research. The organization also collaborates with military and government agencies to assist children worldwide, reflecting its dedication to global pediatric healthcare.
