Admission Procedures For The
Orthopedic Hospitals
Application forms for
admission to a Shriners Hospital can be obtained from any Shrine Temple or
Shrine Club; by writing to Shriners Hospitals, P.O. Box 31356, Tampa, FL 33631;
or by calling the Shriners Hospitals for Children toll-free referral line at
1-800-237-5055. Completed application forms should be returned to the nearest
Shriners Hospital.
Emergency
Admissions
The sooner a burned child reaches a Shriners Hospital that specializes in burn
treatment, the better his chances of recovery.
IN AN EMERGENCY, the referring physician treating a burned child should
telephone the chief of staff at the Shriners Hospital in Boston, Cincinnati,
Galveston or Sacramento and indicate that he has a patient needing emergency
medical care. Transportation of the patient is the responsibility of the
patient's family, but many Shrine Temples including Abdallah Shrine offer transportation assistance.
Non-emergency
Admissions
Non-emergency admission for burn care is dependent on the
medical needs of the patient and on the availability of beds. Shriners Hospitals
are open to children, up to their 18th birthday, regardless of race, religion or
relationship to a Shriner.
Application forms for non-emergency admissions to Shriners Hospitals can be obtained from any Shrine Temple or Shrine Club; by writing to Shriners Hospitals, P.O. Box 31356, Tampa, FL 33631; or by calling the Shriners Hospitals for Children toll-free referral line at 1-800-237-5055.
For additional admissions information contact the Abdallah Shrine Hospital Committee (913) 362-5300 or email us at shriner@ks-mason.org.
