Back in 2004 it was my privilege to be asked to craft an article for Firehouse Magazine about the wonderful works being performed by the dedicated folks at the Boston Shriners Hospital for Children. You may recall that I covered some really important acts, actions, and activities put forth by this nationally-recognized treatment center. The work being done at the outstanding facility continues to this very day.
My friends at the Boston Shriners Hospitals for Children came to me recently and asked for some help. John Sugden and Kathy Golden approached me and asked me to create a bit of commentary which would allow them to share some important news with you about their hospital. Although the hospital is best known for its outstanding children's burn treatment facility, they wanted me to get out the word to the fire service that they are also specialists in the care of a number of other serious medical conditions, most notably among them the treatment of cleft palate conditions.
The first thing that you notice when visiting Shriners Hospitals for Children in Boston is the beautiful modern architecture of the nine story facility. Once inside you see a beautiful mural depicting the history and culture of Boston. But more importantly you notice the warm welcome from everyone from the receptionist to the doctors to the cafeteria staff. Because Shriners is a small pediatric hospital, the atmosphere is warm and friendly.
Let me state for the record that I was so impressed with the charitable work of the Shriners which I witnessed in Boston back in 2004 that when the next opportunity presented itself I joined with the Crescent Shrine Temple here in the southern half of New Jersey. I am also a Past Master at Ocean Lodge #89 and a member of the Scottish Rite Valley of Central Jersey.
