Burn Hospitals Units
 Since
the Shrine first made a commitment to advancing
burn treatment by opening units in Boston,
Cincinati and Galveston, the chance of a burned
child's survival has more than doubled.
This impressive survival rate has been achieved
through today's improved surgical procedures,
medical technology and the coordinated efforts
of many hospital staff members.
Shriner Burns Institutes are staffed and equipped
to treat children with acute, fresh burns;
children needing plastic reconstruction or
restorative surgery as a result of healed
burns; children with severe scarring, resulting
in contractures or interference with proper
movement of the limbs; and patients with scarring
and deformity of the face. In addition to
offering a wide range of specialized medical
and rehabilitation services. |
