Our treatment team includes specialists from neurosurgery, head and neck (otolaryngology) and eye care (ophthalmology), as well as genetics specialists and speech language pathologists.

Surgical Trauma Burn Intensive Care Unit—DeCamp Burn Center
At the DeCamp Burn and Wound Healing Center, children not only get medical treatment for their severe burns. They also get psychological care to help them cope with the physical and emotional affects of their injuries. The Burn Support Laboratory stores harvested skin grafts and prepares the antimicrobial cream, used in the burn center to kill or prevent the growth of bacteria or fungi wounds.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment Center
We offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) for children with chronic wounds, carbon monoxide or cyanide poisoning, crush injuries, skin flaps or grafts with poor blood supply or radiation tissue damage. With HBO therapy, the child breathes highly pressurized oxygen that delivers a large amount of oxygen to the body’s tissues. This allows the blood to carry greater amounts of oxygen to the area of the body that needs healing.
