Referral process
All referrals received will be assessed by a member of our medical team and assigned a priority and a specialty clinic as applicable. Some conditions may be more severe than others.
Applications from outside of Quebec and complex referrals are brought to the chief of staff for medical review. If we must decline an application based purely on medical criteria (the child is receiving appropriate care at home or there is no orthopaedic component to the condition), a letter will be sent to the person who has requested our help.
If it is determined that the child can benefit from care provided by Shriners Hospitals for Children - Canada, we will also determine whether they should be seen in a clinic in Montreal or at one of our outreach clinics for assessment. Outreach clinic locations include Bathurst (New Brunswick), Sudbury (Ontairo), Gander (Newfoundland and Labrador), Halifax (Nova Scotia) and our staellite clinic in Winnipeg (Manitoba). In addition, telehealther services may be utilized.

What is the relationship between Shriners and Shriners Hospitals?
In a unique interdependent relationship, the Shriners and Shiners Hospitals are separate but inseparable. Shriners International supports Shriners Hospitals in many ways: Shrine Temples and clubs often help arrange and pay for transportation for children and parents to the hospitals and entertaining the patients. In addition, Shriners help support the hospitals financially, with each Shriner paying an annual $5 (USF) hospital assessment. Temples and clubs also hold many fundraisers, some of which benefit Shriners Hospitals for Children.
