The Johns Hopkins Burn Center opened in 1968. The adult unit is verified by the American Burn Association and the Children’s unit is certified by the Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems (MIEMSS) and cares for all burn victims under the age of fifteen. Expert care from the Division’s burn and reconstructive surgeons, coupled with extensive clinical and basic science research, makes the Johns Hopkins Burn Center the major referral center for burn victims in the Mid-Atlantic region.
The Johns Hopkins Burn Center comprises the adult unit at the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center and the pediatric unit located at the Johns Hopkins Children Center.
The physicians of the Johns Hopkins Burn Center cover a wide range of expertise, including surgery, intensive care, psychological counseling, pain service, nutrition, social work, physical and accupational therapy, plastic reconstructive surgery, clinical educations, and much more.
More than 20 physicians and therapists practice in the Department and also are at the forefront of research trying to find new and better ways to help patients suffering from burns.
