The Saint Elizabeth Regional Burn and Wound Care Center is internationally recognized for outstanding research and for providing the latest treatments and procedures for serious burns or for wounds that will not heal.  

For Burn Care:
The Saint Elizabeth Burn Center is the region’s first dedicated burn unit, continuing to saves lives throughout the multi-state region. The medical team here helps each burn patient, adult or child make a physical, emotional and psychological recovery. From initial assessment through the ongoing healing process, a highly skilled and caring multidisciplinary team uses the most current and effective therapies.     

Specially trained:
The members of the burn team are specially-trained surgeons, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, social workers, nutrition and pharmacy consultants, respiratory therapists, pastoral care staff and volunteers. The Burn Center is verified by the American Burn Association and the American College of Surgeons. The center includes an outpatient burn clinic for less serious burns or follow-up care for severe burns.
