Affiliated Burn Centers

Each year in southeastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and Delaware, approximately 33,000 people experience a burn injury that requires a hospital emergency room visit. The most critical are admitted to one of four regional burn centers.  With today’s advanced medical care, many critically burned people survive but face many months, and possible years, of medical care and recovery.  Through grants and fundraising efforts, the Burn Foundation supports these efforts and the operations of the four regional burn centers. They are:

When the Nathan Speare Regional Burn Treatment Center opened in November 1973, it was the first burn treatment center on the East Coast between Massachusetts and Virginia. The center is located in Upland, Pa. in suburban Philadelphia and provides complete medical care to meet all the needs of burn patients and their families within a single hospital unit – from emergency treatment to intensive care to rehabilitation, follow-up and outpatient care.

The center and it’s team has earned an international reputation for excellence in holistic burn care, treating thousands of new patients since its founding.

The center’s team uses state-of-the-art surgical techniques, medications, therapies, wound care and skin replacement products, and also treats non-burn injuries, such as “road rash,” and medication reactions and other skin diseases that result in conditions similar to those experienced by burn patients.
