Shrine Hospital History
Since opening the doors of our first hospital in Shreveport, Louisiana, in 1922, Shriners Children’s™ has grown into one of the finest pediatric specialty healthcare systems in the world. Thanks to the dedication and hard work of members of the Shriners International fraternity – the organization that founded and continues to support the health care system – one hospital soon became two, two became 10, and by 1985 22 Shriners Hospitals for Children were making a difference in the lives of children in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
Shriners Children’s™ has continued to evolve over the decades, and so, too, has its brand. In 2007, the organization initiated a system-wide branding effort to create consistency in the look and feel of materials throughout the Shriners Children’s™ healthcare system. Creating this brand cohesion and uniformity was paramount in an increasingly connected world, where we wanted to be recognized not as a loose network of individual hospitals, but as a united healthcare system that was changing the lives of children and re-inventing medical care through research and education.
What has never changed over the years is Shriners Children’s™ dedication to providing the best specialty medical care to children, regardless of the families’ ability to pay. So today, our brand builds on our history, honors our deeply rooted traditions, and conveys our compassion, expertise, and dedication to improving the lives of children.
