Burn Center
Proving Compassionate Care in Your Time of Need
Burns are particularly serious wounds that are caused by extreme heat, exposure to chemicals, and other dangerous conditions. Treatment of these injuries can vary widely depending on what caused them, where they occurred on one’s body, and how serious they are. It is often possible to make a complete recovery from a burn injury and minimize the effects of scarring by seeking treatment immediately following a burn injury.
We are proud to offer leading-edge treatments and therapies through our Burn Injury Program. Not only is our specially trained staff ready to assist patients in the immediate aftermath of a burn, but we also work with social workers, physical therapists, and other professionals who are prepared to address our patients' long-term needs.
Our Local Heroes
Perhaps no professional is more susceptible to serious burn injuries as being a firefighter. We offer a Firefighter Health & Safety Education course, a Standard Operating Guide, free lung cancer screenings and other resources to give these brave first responders the resources they need to manage their health.
