What Sets Us Apart

The safest care

Each Regional Burn Center room has a ceiling lift that allows caregivers to comfortably and safely move patients. Lifts also are used to suspend patients’ extremities when the dressings that cover burn wounds are changed.

We have the largest and busiest burn center in Pennsylvania and are one of 44 burn centers nationwide verified by the American Burn Association and American College of Surgeons.

At our Regional Burn Center, we see more than 600 adults and children with serious, even life-threatening burns. That’s three times the number of patients the average burn center sees. Inside our newly expanded burn center (opened in January 2008) in the Kasych Family Pavilion at Lehigh Valley Hospital—Cedar Crest, Allentown, Pa., we now have the capability to care for more than 1,000 patients annually.
