Known originally as the Ancient Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, or more informally as the Shriners, and associated with the Masons, the fraternal organization was renamed in 2010 as Shriners International. It operates a network of hospitals in Canada, the United States, and Mexico focused on the treatment and rehabilitation of handicapped children.
