Our burn treatment team is comprised of specialized surgeons, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and registered nurses. All of our team members are trained to assist patients from initial burn injury through recovery. This team works together to create a customized care plan just for you, which may include a variety of therapies.

Emergency burn care
If you need emergency care for a burn, our emergency room (ER) is open 24/7. Our emergency medicine team is dedicated to providing high-quality care, while making your visit with us as convenient as possible.
Hyperbaric medicine
We provide hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to patients with nonhealing wounds and other conditions. HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber, and the increased oxygen in your blood promotes healing at the wound site. Our hospital offers two multi-place hyperbaric oxygen chambers, allowing us to care for multiple patients at a time.
Microvascular plastic and reconstructive surgery
We also offer microvascular, plastic and reconstructive surgery for patients who have experienced burns and other injuries. Some of the surgical services we provide include:
