We're throwing it back to earlier this summer when our research department welcomed high school and college students into our hospital as part of our summer medical research immersion program. Through this program, students were exposed to different specialties in clinical and non-clinical settings. Throughout the week, students were also exposed to many hands-on learning opportunities with our doctors and clinical staff, and they were also given the opportunity to work on and present their own research immersion projects. It is important for us to educate others as part of our mission. We were proud to host this dynamic group of students, and we hope to see them again soon! #shrinersphilly #shrinerschildrens #clinicalresearch #learning #opportunities #pediatrics #pediatricorthopedics

It’s Meet the Staff Monday! 👋 Ever wanted to know a little bit more about your favorite Shriners Children's Philadelphia employee? Every other week, we hope to share a brief interview with a staff member who helps our hospital provide the most amazing care for our patients. Say hello to Yuriko, a patient access representative How long have you worked at the Philadelphia Shriners Hospital? In October, I will celebrate two years. What is your favorite part of your job/day? I would most definitely say interacting with the kids who come in! How would you spend your perfect day off? Relaxing at home. Tell us something that may surprise us about you? My first language was Spanish.

Ryan has been a patient of Scott Kozin, M.D., since he was six weeks old due to a brachial plexus injury sustained at birth. His right side was affected by his injury, but over time, he has been able to make functional use of his arm. Because of Ryan's care, he has been able to live a typical life and participate in activities with his peers without issue. We're so excited for Ryan, as he will be representing Shriners Children’s Philadelphia as a Standard Bearer at the Shriners Children's Open this October in Las Vegas! To learn more about Ryan and learn how you can support, visit his page below! https://ow.ly/RiHn50SWNBH #ShrinersOpen #standardbearer

We are thankful to all of the folks who are always so generous to our patients. The other week, we met members of the @GrungoLaw firm. They reached out and asked what we could use for our patients. Believe it or not, we still use DVDs and small portable DVD players, so they were happy to help us out with updating our collection! #ShrinersChildrens #ShrinersPhilly #ThankfulTuesday #DVDs #donations #community #givingback #thankful

Nixon is a sweet four-year-old boy who traveled from Michigan to Philadelphia for care. One year ago he had spine surgery with Dr. Samdani due to multiple cervical spine abnormalities. At his one year follow up appointment we caught up with him and his mom, Emily where he surprised Dr. Samdani by walking right to him, which is something that his family never thought he would be able to do. During their visit, Nixon (along with his best friend Mae who was on Facetime) presented a check for $1,000 to our hospital. Together, they collected bottles and cans and donated half of the money back to us. Thank you both so much! #shrinersphilly #shrinerschildrens #themostamazingcareanywhere #spinespecialists #nuerosurgeon
