Regional Burn Center
As the first and only verified Burn Center in the region, Baton Rouge General
has treated pediatric and adult burn patients for nearly 50 years. From
more than 190 zip codes between Gainesville, through New Orleans and to
Dallas, and hundreds of offshore platforms stationed in coastal waters,
we treat all aspects of burn injuries including flame, scald, electrical,
chemical, hot substances and more.
As the Southeastern region’s only verified Burn Center designated
by the American Burn Association, with nearest centers in Texas and Florida,
Baton Rouge General’s Regional Burn Center provides advanced, comprehensive
burn care to more than 90 percent of the region’s patients who have
suffered some of life’s most tragic accidents.
Our 42-member multidisciplinary team has 400 years of combined experience,
and includes burn surgeons, specialty nurses, dietitians, respiratory
therapists, rehabilitation therapists, psychiatrists, ophthalmologists,
ENTs and social workers.
Our facility currently includes:
- Acute Adult Unit
- Acute Pediatric Unit
- Outpatient Burn Clinic for children & adults
What makes us special?
Verification is a rigorous process that only 68 burn centers across the
nation have achieved. It means the American Burn Association and the American
College of Surgeons have confirmed that our team and our facilities are
held to the highest quality standards of care management of burns from
time of injury through rehabilitation. Just like trauma patients should
get the high level of care that level 1 trauma centers give, it’s
important that burn patients get the treatment only a verified burn center
can offer.
