Becoming a Patient

At Shriners Children's We Support Families by Providing Access to Quality Care

Shriners Children’s is committed to providing innovative and compassionate care to children. In order to qualify for care, your child must be younger than age 18 when their care plan begins and have a condition that we treat. We have facilities throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico, as well as a number of outreach clinics internationally. As part of our commitment to families and children, we also welcome patients from anywhere in the world.

Our team of highly qualified specialists is here for you. When you put your trust in us to provide treatment for your child, our focus will be on achieving the most positive and significant long-term outcome for them.

If your child has a condition that we specialize in, we would be happy to work with you to get started on a care plan for them.

If you would like to consult with our specialists regarding your child’s condition, you can contact us directly to request an appointment. Your physician can also provide a direct referral. For physician referrals, please visit our patient referrals and transfers page.

Acceptance is based solely on a child’s medical needs, regardless of their family's ability to pay or their insurance status.

We Understand the Unique Medical Needs of Children

We provide vital, pioneering treatment from birth to age 18. Here, children have the opportunity to be evaluated and treated by doctors recognized as the best by their peers.
