What makes us unique 

The Burn Center conducts research aimed at improving patient outcomes, leads community outreach to support burn survivors, and provides education to reduce burn injuries. 

Teamwork is imperative for a healthy work environment. Patients, families, nurses, and other health care profes­sionals work as a team. 

We collaborate with the Firefighters Burn Institute to provide assistance and emotional support to firefighters as well as their families and depart­ments in the aftermath of a burn injury. Contributions provide general support for the Burn Center.
