Families and patients say that Shriners Children’s feels like home to them, and it's no wonder to us. We know that a child's needs go beyond the physical. Our care teams support their social, emotional and developmental health with patient programs and activities.

Not all programs are available at every location. Contact your child’s care manager or any member of your child’s care team to learn more.
Across our healthcare system, we offer the full spectrum of orthopedic treatments and services – from fracture care and casting for broken bones, to surgery and rehabilitation. We also provide low-dose radiology, motion analysis, bracing, casting, and orthotic and prosthetic services. All of these are complemented by our physical, occupational and recreational therapy programs. Families appreciate the convenience of a single source for treatment, and children benefit from the continuity of care and collaboration. With this collaborative approach, parents, patients and providers can all support the total care plan.
We’re proud that U.S. News & World Report ranked six of our locations among the "best children’s hospitals for orthopedics" in the United States in 2020. We celebrate the recognition of our individual physicians and researchers, as well. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine, the Pediatric Orthopedic Society of North America, and the American Academy of Pediatrics are just a few of the organizations that have honored our staff.
Our pediatric orthopedic specialists gain much of their expertise through hands-on experience, individualized education and concentrated research with organizations including universities and companies in the private sector. As a result of this self-directed training, they’ve developed the elite skills to treat more than 100 orthopedic conditions.
Because Shriners Children’s provides all care and services regardless of a family’s ability to pay or insurance status, physicians and families are able to consider every appropriate treatment option available.
