Emergency Burn Care
The sooner a child with burn injuries reaches a Shriners Hospital that specializes in burn care, the better his or her
chance of recovery. In an emergency, the referring physician should telephone the chief of staff at the nearest
appropriate Shriners Hospital and indicate there is a patient needing emergency medical care. Transportation of
the patient is the responsibility of the patient’s family, but many Shriners Temples offer transportation assistance.
Non-emergency Burn Care
Non-emergency admission for burn care at a Shriners Hospital is dependent on medical needs of the patient and
on availability of beds. Shriners Hospitals are open to children, up to their 18th birthday, regardless of financial
need or relationship to a Shriner.
Application forms for non-emergency admissions for burn care can be obtained from any Shriners Temple or
Shriners Club; by writing to:
Shriners Hospitals, P.O. Box 31356, Tampa, FL 33631;
