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.
