Hurricane Ike
Shriners Hospital for Children® â€" Houston - Shriners Hospital for Children® â€" Houston delivers the highest quality of care to children with a host of orthopaedic and neuromusculoskeletal disorders and diseases, as well as cleft lip...
Prior to Hurricane Ike in 2008, the cleft lip and palate program had been based at the institutions's sister hospital, Shriners Hospital for Burned Children in nearby Galveston. The storm briefly closed the Galveston hospital, and in the interim both burn & cleft lip patients were seen at the Houston orthopedic hospital. When the Galveston hospital reopened in 2009, the decision was made to keep the cleft lip program in Houston.
