| ARABA Shriners HOSPITAL COMMITTEE
THROUGH THIS OFFICE WE HANDLE ALL EMERGENCY BURNS CASES UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF NOBLE KEN WEISS. KEN ALSO COORDINATES ALL PATIENT APPOINTMENTS FOR GALVESTON, TX AND CINCINATTI,OH. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM HE HAS IS KEEPING TRACK OF THE PATIENTS. ALONG WITH THAT, HE IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MANY NEW INQUIRIES, WHICH ARE HANDLED THROUGH THE COMMITTEE GROUP. THE GROUP CONSISTS OF NOBLES WHOSE JOB IT IS TO GET ALL THE PROPER INFORMATION ON THE CLIENT APPLICATIONS THAT WE SEND TO THE HOSPITAL FOR APPROVAL.
IF YOU KNOW OF A CHILD IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE WITH A BURN OR ORTHOPEDIC PROBLEM, CALL KEN AT 239-334-8496, OR, IN AN EMERGENCY, YOU MAY CALL BEEPER NUMBER 239-335-1036. THE TRANSPORTATION OFFICE IS UNDER THE DIRECTION OF NOBLES HARRY KOSS AND MARTY ROWE. WE HANDLE ALL THE NEEDS OF THE 479 YOUNGSTERS IN OUR PROGRAM AS OF THIS WRITING. WE HAVE AVAILABLE TWO VANS THAT ARE ALWAYS READY TO GO WHEN NEEDED.
WE ALWAYS HAVE TWO DRIVERS ON EACH TRIP, IN ADDITION TO THE PATIENT AND ONE PARENT. IF WE HAVE ROOM AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO RIDE ALONG SOME TIME AND SEE THE HOSPITAL, WE CAN TAKE A SHRINER ALONG. WE MAKE APPROXIMATELY 120 ROUND TRIPS TO TAMPA, FL EACH YEAR. WE DO THIS WITH ONLY 23 DRIVERS WHO LIVE IN THE AREA YEAR ROUND, AND "SNOWBIRDS" IN THE WINTER MONTHS. THE VANS HAVE WHEELCHAIR LIFTS FOR EASIER PATIENT LOADING.
PLEASE REMEMBER, THERE IS NEVER A RED CENT OF COST TO THE PATIENT OF THEIR FAMILY --- NEVER!!
