No one ever plans to be burned. But if you or someone you love is ever involved in a fire, explosion or industrial accident, it's good to know that the St. Joseph Regional Burn Center is close by when every minute counts. Recognized by The New York Times for its pioneering work in skin grafting and transplantation, the Regional Burn Center offers the most sophisticated burn treatment available within 150 miles of Fort Wayne. In fact, burn trauma victims from all over the tri-state region are flown to St. Joe for the specialized burn care that no other area hospital can provide. The Regional Burn Center, established in 1974, also includes ten ultra-sterile inpatient rooms, a therapy area and exam rooms.
All patient rooms are private and specially equipped for critical care.
By the time a burn patient is discharged from our care, they may have been treated by nearly one-hundred specialists, physicians, nurses, therapists, clinicians and staff. Our staff's commitment is one of the reasons St. Joseph Regional Burn Center received the highest verification in the nation.
