About Khiva Shrine and Shriners Children`s Texas:
Khiva Shrine is the Amarillo Chapter of Shriners International, a fraternity that over 100 years ago established Shriners Children’s (formerly Shriners Hospitals for Children) as its official philanthropy.
Shriners Children’s Texas is an advanced, comprehensive pediatric facility providing world-class medical care for burns, cleft lip, and orthopedic conditions without limits to any child who needs it. This care, as well as assistance traveling to and from any hospital appointment, are provided regardless of the family’s ability to pay.
Over the past year, Shriners Children’s Texas provided care for nearly 3,000 patients, many of whom were medically uninsured and would not otherwise receive the life-changing care they need. Khiva Shrine is responsible for helping children and their families who live in the top 38 counties of the Texas panhandle connect with our nationwide hospital system, with most being treated at Shriners Children’s Texas in Galveston.
