They
are
a
hospital
for
children
who
have
orthopedic
problems,
burn
victims,
spine
injuries,
and
cleft
palettes.
Shriners
hospitals
have
22
institutions,
the
majority
of
which
are
located
in
the
United
States.
No
one
is
ever
denied
treatment,
regardless
of
whether
or
not
the
patient
can
pay
for
it.
My
cousin
suffered
scoliosis
when
she
was
younger,
and
as
a
result,
she
had
surgery
in
which
a
rod
was
implanted
in
her
back.
Although
my
aunt
did
not
have
to
pay
for
the
procedure
at
the
time,
she
was
quite
generous
in
the
gift
that
she
gave
to
the
foundation.
She
has
matured
and
is
now
above
the
age
of
18,
but
when
she
was
younger,
she
had
an
accident
in
which
she
slid
on
ice
on
the
mainland
and
wounded
her
back.
She
was
informed
that
she
would
need
to
have
surgery
on
it
once
again,
so
she
went
back
to
the
Shriners
Hospital
to
undergo
the
necessary
corrective
surgery,
during
which
another
rod
was
implanted
in
her
back.
When
she
came
in
for
her
procedure
and
recovery
at
Shriners
Hospital
back
in
March
2017,
she
was
the
only
patient
there
at
the
time.
She
had
two
nurses
waiting
on
her
hand
and
foot,
of
course
they
had
to
have
kitchen
staff
to
make
her
meals,
and
a
security
officer
to
patrol
the
facility.
She
also
had
a
kitchen
crew
to
cook
her
meals.
The
building
itself
is
really
attractive
in
its
own
right.
They
offer
a
café,
a
large
lobby
with
a
stunning
aquarium,
and
an
upstairs
play
area
with
toys,
DVDs,
books,
and
a
video
Game
Center
for
children
to
enjoy.
The
rooms
are
large,
and
the
whole
location
exudes
a
gleaming,
spotless
cleanliness
from
every
nook
and
cranny
of
view.
Regarding
the
extent
to
which
this
organization
has
assisted
my
cousin
and
his
family,
I
just
do
not
have
enough
positive
things
to
say
about
it.
I
will
be
eternally
thankful
to
the
masons
who
established
this
foundation
and
maintain
it
operational
for
the
benefit
of
youngsters
who
have
a
need
for
its
services.
