Hospitals change lives. The Shriners Hospital changes hearts. And since I got a personal tour today, I wanted to take you along and show you some of the amazing things I saw.

What an incredible gift to our community and the surrounding 6 states in its region.

Club feet, scoliosis, prosthetics, cerebral palsy, and so much more bring children and their families through their doors.

They need hope. And Shriners delivers.

I toured with a group from the BMW Charity Pro-Am - which will donate a portion of the tournament proceeds to this special place.

The visit made my day.

Skilled professionals create the limbs that are missing for children, and then coat the plastic in the child’s favorite design, to make them kid friendly.

The children who come here are impressive!
