Hope Blossoms Daily at One of the Nation’s Most Advanced Burn Centers

Our experience brings patients back to living life

Every burn does damage that's more than skin deep. But healing, health and hope can be restored.

Lehigh Valley Health Network's Regional Burn Center has a dedicated, full-time medical staff that uses the most advanced burn-care technologies and reconstructive surgical techniques. Our newly expanded facility provides the latest in patient safety, privacy and comfort. All patient rooms are private and feature state-of-the-art infection control. Plus, loved ones are welcome to visit 20 hours a day.

Our scar management program offers the latest techniques to limit cosmetic and functional disabilities, and an image enhancement service that offers tattooing and instruction on makeup techniques for burned skin. Our Burn Recovery Center offers follow-up outpatient care for patients after their hospitalization and for people whose burns are less severe. Throughout the care process, patients receive the emotional support they need from our social workers and through our burn survivor support groups.

Every year we care for more than 600 adults and children, many with serious and life-threatening burns. In fact, we see three times the patients as the average burn center. Our experience is one reason we're verified by the American Burn Association and the American College of Surgeons.

As one of the nation's most advanced burn centers, our goal is to bring patients back to living life. That is our purpose. That is our passion.
