1. Select. Select the right hospital. Shriner’s hospitals only help for the following problems: orthopedics, burns, cleft palate, and spinal cord injury. Another charity may be better for your child. The Ronald McDonald house provides limited cost housing for families of children who are seriously ill. Patch Adams helped open the door to the Gesundheit! Institute (German for 'health!') in West Virginia and provides Non-Profit, Free for Patients, health care. The Ronald McDonald care mobile travels here and abroad and provides dental care and dental care education. Tooth decay cause more kids to be sick then asthma.

2. Apply. Turn in all your information and wait for a call. There may be a small wait depending on the problem. If you are rejected ask your doctor for a letter, they may accept it with an explanation letter.

3. Wait for a qualified doctor. Do not worry about the quality of the care. These are top quality doctors and researchers who are not working for a pay check but are working to help kids.

4. Hospital locations. Go on line to find the locations of hospitals that are nearest to you. These and other organizations have hospitals located across the nation.

5 Take the child to visit the hospital. Be prepared for laughter for these are happy places. The kids are actually happy to be there.

6. Grateful attitude. Be thankful for the love the doctors have for the children. No kinder doctors can be found on earth than at these hospitals. Patch Adams travels to other countries. Doctors dressed as clowns volunteer to help out in other countries.
