Mission
SHRINERS BELIEVE IN GOD AND THAT HE CREATED MAN TO SERVICE HIS PURPOSE, AMONG WHICH IS SERVICE TO OTHERS IN HIS NAME. WE BELIEVE THAT CARE FOR THE LESS FORTUNATE, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN WHO SUFFER FROM BURNS AND CRIPPLING DISEASE, IS OUR INSTITUTIONAL CALLING. AS SHRINERS WE LOOK BEYOND OURSELVES TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF OTHERS, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN WHO CANNOT HELP THEMSELVES. WE BELIEVE SHRINERS HOSPITALS TO BE THE WORLD'S GREATEST PHILANTHROPY AND WE COVENANT WITH EACH OTHER TO SUPPORT ITS "TEMPLES OF MERCY" WITH SPIRIT, TIME, TALENT AND MEANS.
