Either a family member or a physician can call the hospital with patient information to discuss transferring the patient to the Cincinnati Shriners Hospital or to make an appointment for non-emergency cases.

Depending on the patient's condition and transportation available, every effort will be made to get the child to the Cincinnati Shriners Hospital as soon as possible. Please call (800) 875-8580 and ask for the charge nurse.  The nurse can answer all your questions about bringing a child to Shriners for treatment.

Family-Centered Care

We recognize that the family plays a vital role in a child's ability to overcome an illness or injury. Our hospital helps the child by involving the family in all aspects of the child's care and recovery.

Our purpose is to provide care to children with orthopaedic problems, burn or spinal cord injuries to help them lead fuller, more productive lives. By promoting the importance of the family and helping it become a stronger support system for the child, Shriners Hospitals for Children can accomplish this purpose more effectively.
