Shriners Children’s — St. Louis
Pediatric specialty care for children, regardless of a family’s ability to pay.
Since 1924 the surgeons and staff of Shriners Children’s — St. Louis have provided high-quality pediatric orthopaedic care to children regardless of their family’s ability to pay, serving a region spanning Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Iowa.
How We Help
Care a family cannot reach is care a family does not receive. Our support has focused on that gap: we backed the Moolah Transportation Fund, which helps families travel to Shriners Children’s for the specialized treatment their children need. The hospital removes the cost of care; the transportation fund removes the distance.
Students from the DeMolay Leadership & Service Club at Maryville University have also spent evenings making handmade fleece blankets and assembling care packages for young patients — a small, direct project from a club The LIGHT Foundation founded, sponsors and funds.
