Shriners Children's New England

Amanda knew from the moment her son, Casey, was born that something wasn’t quite right.


Amanda began researching information about infant head shape abnormalities and continued to advocate for Casey to be evaluated by a craniofacial specialist.


At Casey’s six-month check-up, the pediatrician made a referral for cranial remolding care at Shriners Children’s New England. There, Amanda found a supportive team of specialists ready to answer all her questions and guide her through every step of Casey’s treatment.

Shriners Children's Boston

Thomas is a quiet yet confident young man as he sits in the lobby of Shriners Children’s Boston with his wife.


He is eager to share his story as a burn survivor and former patient, hoping to inspire children at the same hospital where he recovered.


Since graduating from care at Shriners Children’s, Thomas has become a husband, father and self-taught pianist. But one of his biggest accomplishments happened within the hospital walls: he gained the ability to eat again.
