Sean Waldron, M.D., Orthopedic Surgeon, Sports Medicine:

I love what I do because I really get to make a difference in people's lives, and I'm hoping that because I was a part of this person's life, they had a better outcome because of it and because of me.

Denise Carr, CRNP, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner:

The team, the physicians, the nurses, it's priceless. You can't get it anywhere else. I choose to work at Shriners because I feel like we work to not only give you a life-changing experience, but to make sure that your life is changed when you get home.

Ross Chafetz, PT, DPT, Ph.D., MPH, Corporate Director of Motion Analysis Centers:

I love what I do because I help children in a way you can't anywhere else. Our ability to use technology, work as a team, and analyze information to make a kid's life better just can't be done anywhere else in any better way.

Kim Curran, RN, BSN, ACM-RN, Nurse Care Manager:

I really do love what I do at Shriners because I get to make a difference, and that, to me, is amazing. To see the way people come into the hospital with a new injury, a new illness, and to see where they are when they leave and knowing that I was just a little part of that, it keeps me coming back day after day.

Jaydin, Spinal Cord Injury patient:

At Shriners Children's I have came a long way. My journey was outstanding. I've improved so much. Thank you to all the therapists, the nurses, and staff that's been here and kept my head up and kept me in my zone to stay focused.

Amer F. Samdani, M.D., Chief of Surgery, Neurosurgeon:

There is no place that can compare to Shriners. Not having to worry about whether a patient can afford care is how we envisioned we would be practicing medicine. Unfortunately, the realities of medical care today are that surgeons and physicians have to take that into account because that's the way our system's set up, except in the Shriners' system. Shriners' hospitals allow us to practice medicine the way we thought we could practice medicine when we went into the field. It truly is a medical utopia.
