Burn Care and Recovery

Burn Care

Our Regional Burn Center is the largest and busiest in Pennsylvania and is one of 44 burn centers nationally verified by the American Burn Association and American College of Surgeons. Every year, we care for more than 600 adults and children with serious, even life-threatening burns—three times the number of patients than the average burn center sees.

Our Services

We’re dedicated to providing the best possible care and comfort for you or your loved one.

Why Choose Us

Our burn specialists see and treat burns every day. They care for the most serious burns, use specialized treatments that help prevent smaller burns from turning into deeper burns and decrease the need for skin grafting for all burns. In addition to treating patients who come to our emergency room, we also care for patients transferred here from more than 100 institutions throughout Eastern Pennsylvania.
