 While it's a weekend of celebration in Bemidji, Aria Shriners had some important work to tend to first. Our Josh Peterson shows us how the use of pop-up clinics has made a difference in many lives. Samford Orthopedics welcomed some very special guests who were wearing some very unique hats. Aria Shriners were on hand for their annual pop-up clinic to help screen children to assist them in getting the care they need. So any child can come from birth to 21 that have orthopedic needs, meaning anything dealing with the bones or the muscles of their body. For 22 years, Bemidji Aria Shriners have come together for one common goal, to help children and their families who are in need of quality care. Just to see that child, the smile on the child's face, regardless of whatever afflicts them, it just melts my heart, it melts all of our Shriners. That's what we're about is taking care of those kids. Over 30 patients will be seen here through the Shrine Clinic here at Samford Health. However, 75% of those patients will be referred to Shriners Hospital down in the Twin Cities. For some families, they're hoping for answers, so that life can return to normal and kids can keep being kids. Then I get some answers to make sure that she's able to walk straight and not fall anymore, because she can't keep up with brother. When she runs, she'll fall. For a weekend that celebrates the Shrine Organization, area Shriners say the feeling of giving back is the true reward. Oh, this is a great, great feeling. You know, our mission is to change the lives of children that need our help, and so this is a great weekend for us. In Babidji, Josh Peterson, Lakeland News.
