I love this organization. I have been involved with the Shriner's since I was a child best group of men you could ever meet in your life. I belong to their counterpart The Ladies of the Oriental Shrine. A child who goes to one of their hospitals the parents will never see a bill and will never be asked any questions regarding religious affiliation.
Shriner's Hospital in Canada
The Exceptional Care for Exceptional Kids Campaign raised an
extraordinary $130,650,327 exceeding the goal of $130 million. The funds
supported the construction of the new Shriners Hospital for Children® –
Canada, which opened on October 5, 2015, and the Francis Glorieux Chair
in Pediatric Musculoskeletal Research.
Thank you to the over 6000
donors who supported the campaign. Because of you, children will bone
disorders will receive care in an ultra-modern hospital.
“With our
children and their families in mind, we created a warm and welcoming
hospital,” says Imperial Potentate Jerry G. Gantt. “The building itself
is beautiful, each floor designed to reflect a different region of
Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific and the Great North; each floor
is designed to be a place of healing, a haven for the children and
families who turn to us for care. But it is much more than a building.
It is a place where researchers work side by side with clinicians to
find the cause of bone disorders and endeavor to find better treatments
and new cures. It is a place where we will offer new state-of-the-art
services such as movement analysis and pediatric simulation training. A
place where we will focus on improving the lives of the children we
treat, the care they receive and the training we provide to
up-and-coming healthcare professionals.”
