Meet Our Medical Director
Travis Webb, MD, MHPE, FACS serves as medical director at the Firefighters Burn Center, the only full-service burn center verified by the American Burn Association in a 400-mile radius of Memphis. He leads a specialized team that provides comprehensive care for burn patients from all over the Mid-South, seeing them through their entire treatment journey from critical care to rehabilitation to continuing outpatient recovery. Under his leadership, the burn center is not only the region’s go-to facility for expert burn care, it is a hub research and community outreach.
Dr. Webb earned his medical degree at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in Springfield and a Master of Health Professions Education at University of Illinois at Chicago. He completed his general surgery residency and surgical critical care fellowship at Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. He is board-certified in general surgery and surgical critical care.

Dr. Webb said his team’s focus is to not only save lives, but help patients return to the life they enjoyed before their injury. “When an individual is injured by a burn, it is often a life-changing experience, and it is imperative that the injured patient has access to the best burn care possible in order to make the best recovery,” he said. “Regional One Health’s Firefighters Burn Center is here to provide that care and serve as a vital resource for the community.” Click here to read his full bio.
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.
