Overview

The Burn Clinic provides expert burn care without the wait. When a burn is treated incorrectly, it can often lead to infection. By having your burn treated by a burn expert—right from the start—you help ensure that you will have the best recovery possible.

The Burn Clinic provides rapid care for people with burns that are not life-threatening:

  • Sunburn
  • Scalds
  • Chemical burns
  • Tar burns
  • Burns from concrete
  • Electrical burns
  • Burns from fireworks

Patient & Visitor Information

When you call our clinic, you will be given an appointment time—usually for the very same day.

Visiting the clinic is a lot like visiting your doctor. You will be seen by a provider who has been certified by the American Burn Association. If needed, you will be scheduled for follow-up visits to assess your wound healing.

If you experience a burn after hours and need immediate care, please come to the Strong Emergency Department.
