Scalds, or liquid burns, are by far the most common burn we treat, especially in children under the age of 5.

Hot water/steam, coffee, tea, hot chocolate and instant noodles are the biggest culprits so make sure you utilize a circle of safety or barrier around your oven, stove and microwave. Visit BeBurnAware.org for more.

Snow day? Snow YAY! ❄️⛄🛷

Six-year-old Winry hit the slopes for some sledding (under the watchful eye of adults) and stayed adorably bundled and warm. Notice anything special with her hands? We don't either! She's using both hands, despite sustaining a burn injury a few years ago. Thanks to our specialized care, she's sledding, playing, and being the best Winry she can be!
