Shriners Hospitals for Children Northern California is a JCAHO-accredited medical center providing pediatric care in three specialty programs - orthopaedics, spinal cord injury treatment and rehabilitation, and acute burn treatment and rehabilitation. The hospital is one of 22 Shriners Hospitals throughout North America. Any child under 18 years old may be eligible for admission if the child's condition is within the scope of services offered. All medical care is provided free of charge to the patient and patient family.

The Shriners team of professionals is devoted to treating the patient in mind, body and spirit. The professional team includes doctors, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, therapeutic recreation specialists, social workers, dietitians, and teachers. Our ultimate goal is to help the child become as independent and as knowledgeable about his/her condition as possible.

To best ensure comprehensive recovery for the patient and the patient's family, the Northern California Hospital medical staff includes a broad range of sub-specialists, including pediatricians, general and plastic surgeons, urologists, psychiatrists, geneticists, neurologists, and many others.
