Annual Report 2023-2024

To provide more access to care, we need to grow our infrastructure. To that end, we continue to invest in our electronic health records (EHR) system. We accomplished our transition to the Epic® system for our outpatient care in December 2023. Now, we are deeply into phase 2 of the project, bringing Epic into our inpatient areas. This will bring us in line with the majority of healthcare providers, including many of our affiliates. The benefits of being all on one powerful system will be immense. We also continue to make progress in establishing the Shriners Children’s Medical Group, which will allow our physicians to work as part of a single system, and offer the flexibility for them to move about throughout the healthcare system, treating children at the location where they are most needed, in any given situation. We are getting medical group leadership into place and working on projects such as patient access. “ I believe we are in our strongest, best position ever to reach and care for the children who need us.” Our unique and generous healthcare system has come a long way since its founding in 1922; with your help, commitment and support, we will continue to make a difference for the children of the world – in new, innovative ways. For the last 30 years, Lisa and I have been focused on serving the Shriners organizations. While we have mixed emotions as we step down, we are confident that you will continue to support the leaders, goals and mission of Shriners Children’s. Our faith in you makes this step easier. May God bless you and our beloved philanthropy. Sincerely, Jerry G. Gantt Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Shriners Children's
