From the onset of any burn injury, until the day a patient is fully healed, burn care is a unique specialty that requires a specialized team to manage these injuries. The MetroHealth Burn Care Team begins with our first responders and continues with our support groups long after you are healed. The MetroHealth Burn Care Center is one of two verified adult and pediatric burn centers in the State of Ohio. We obtain verification every three years by our credentialing organization, the American Burn Association, and received verification in 2021 through 2023.
MetroHealth is the only burn care center in Ohio verified for the care of both adults and children by the American Burn Association and the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma. Our center treats more than 1,700 burn injuries a year, including every imaginable burn—those caused by electricity, lightning, chemicals and smoke inhalation. We also treat injuries you might not think of as burns, like frostbite. With recent advances in care, many people survive burns covering over 75 percent of their bodies.
Our highly specialized facilities, equipment and staff allow us to provide a full range of services:
