For burns that are deep or involve your hands, feet, face, groin, buttocks, a major joint, or a large area of the body, you must seek emergency medical care from the nearest hospital. Having a doctor promptly evaluate you will prevent your injury from escalating in severity and reduce the risk of complications. After your condition is stabilized, you may require expert care that only a specialized burn injury center can offer. In Riverside, that is the Edward G. Hirschman Burn Center at Arrowhead Medical Center. This hospital provides specialized burn care to residents of Riverside, San Bernardino, Inyo, and Mono. There are 14 beds in this burn unit. Over 300 people are admitted each year, and around 100 are treated as outpatients.
