Jennifer Martin, Director of Development explained: “we are an orthopedic and cleft lip and palate hospital for children from birth to age 18. We are the very first hospital in the country for Shriners Health System, and we are still in the very same location that we opened in 1922 we do cleft lip and palate surgery. We do orthopedic surgery related to cerebral palsy and spinal bifida and limb deficiencies. We have a great prosthetics and orthotics department who help with bracing and prosthetics for children who are missing limbs. We also have a great cleft lip and palate program.”

On May 12, 1922, thousands gathered to witness the placing of the cornerstone of the first Shriners Children's hospital, in Shreveport, Louisiana. What began as a single hospital is now a world-renowned and beloved healthcare system with locations in three countries. In addition, outreach programs help Shriners Children’s provide hope and healing to more children in more places.
Nahuel Arboiro, Human Resources Manager at Ternium, said, “This hospital was a great choice, the moment you step into the hospital you can tell how they care about their patients and their families, and it was a great opportunity for us to be able to support our community.”

Melissa Creel, Accounts Payable at Ternium, shared her personal experience with the staff at Shriners Hospital for Children. “Shriners actually means a lot to me and my family. Both of my children, my little girl and my little boy, they are three and one, are patients here. My little girl has a cleft lip and palate, and my little boy was born with a cleft lip. We have been patients here since 2018, and you just won't find the quality of care and kindness that you can find here at Shriners. It truly is an awesome organization here for the children and for the community and for families who have to travel. And the fact that I work for a company that truly cares about the community makes me extremely proud to work for some place that truly cares not only about their employees, but their family. You just don't find that in today's times. So, it's very special, and I truly love what I do and where I work and what they stand for”
