Shriners International First Lady Debby Bailey’s Transforming Lives fundraising program shines a light on the amazing contributions Shriners Hospitals for Children brings to the field of #scoliosis care and supports these efforts. Learn more about her program and how you can make a difference!
Every year, Shriners Hospitals for Children selects two National Patient Ambassadors to represent the health care system’s patients. The ambassadors spend the year sharing their stories and the ways Shriners Hospitals for Children has made a dramatic difference in their lives.
