Because of the many contributions made by the over 800,000 Shriners internationally and their fund raising campaigns, the medical care provided at the Shriners Hospitals for Children is totally free of charge. Their actions have helped to alleviate the burden of families having to pay high medical bills, who must also cope with the illness of a child. And, they have provided important medical treatment for many children, which has helped to save lives.
