Dedicated Burn Rehabilitation
Specialized rehabilitation services are essential to recovery from burn injuries. Because a burn can impact nearly every organ in the body and create significant scar tissue, rehabilitation must be designed around the unique challenges that patients are facing. Our certified burn therapists are the experts in burn rehab and have a proven track record of helping patients heal, avoid major surgery and return to work, hobbies and independent living at a rate higher than peer facilities. learn more
Wound Care and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Burns are clinically complex injuries that sometimes fail to heal despite treatment. Our patients have unique inpatient and outpatient access to leading experts at the Regional One Health Wound Care Center, offering new hope for stubborn wounds. Our multidisciplinary team uses the best technology and treatments, including state-of-the-art Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, to heal persistent wounds caused by burns, traumatic injuries and chronic health conditions. learn more
Plastic Surgery and Laser Center
Recent or even decades-old burn injuries can have lingering impacts on your range of motion, comfort and appearance. Regional One Health’s Plastic Surgery and Laser Center offers state-of-the-art surgical and laser procedures that are proven to improve the look and function of scar tissue. In many cases, patients can experience relief and improvement with outpatient treatments that involve minimal recovery time, risk and side effects. learn more
Burn Prevention and Resources
Education and outreach are crucial parts of our lifesaving mission. Many burn injuries are preventable, and we strive to provide resources that members of our community can use to keep themselves and their loved ones safe. When burn injuries do occur, our team offers not only medical care, but access to ongoing support for burn survivors and their families. learn more
Our Facility
To provide optimal outcomes for burn patients, we put all the technology and resources they need in one place. The Firefighters Burn Center features a dedicated emergency room, operating rooms, intensive care-capable recovery rooms, rehabilitation facilities and more. This means patients have immediate access to the specific treatment they need at every step of their recovery.
All of our facilities are designed with the unique needs of burn patients in mind. Because burns make it hard for the body to regulate temperature, our rooms are heated to ensure patient health and comfort. We utilize the latest medical technology for patient monitoring and care, including the Mid-South’s only multi-place hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber.
