Did you know that Shriners Hospital for Children in Shreveport was the first one established by the Shriners in 1922?

Shriners Hospital here in Shreveport serves children from Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and the Republic of Panama and specialize in treating children with orthopaedic conditions and cleft lip and palate in an environment designed to put children at ease.

Each year we go to the hospital during the Christmas season with members of the Shreveport Fire and Police Departments as well as the Bossier Sheriff's Office with Operation Santa Claus and it's plain how much their staff puts into making these children's hospital stays as comfortable as possible.

Check out Shriners latest video showcasing their staff and their patients. I think you'll find that amazing things are happening for children right here in Shreveport!
