Needs
Because Shriners Children's Northern California depends upon charitable contributions to provide our patients with the fully supported, family-centered, multidisciplinary care, gifts for general operations ensure we can meet the needs of all patients and means contributors are a part of every facet of care for every child.
Transforming children's lives is our singular focus and donors make it possible for our hospital to admit every child, 18 years or younger, who would benefit from our specialty pediatric healthcare services regardless of the family's ability to pay or insurance status.
Care is customized for each child, designed by an expert medical team and supported by a broad array of enhanced programs and services. Gifts for general operations help us continue to provide specialty healthcare for as along as a child needs, conduct innovative research that benefits children worldwide, and educate future generations of caregivers.
During 2024, Shriners Children's Northern California will manage close to 30,000 patient visits and more than 2,200 complex surgery sessions.
In addition to financial contributions, the hospital welcomes in-kind donations that positively impact the patient experience, including new toys, books, clothing, teen gifts and more.
Every gift matters because every child matters. There are many paths to giving, which allows donors to contribute to Shriners Children's in a way that is meaningful to them.
