The Burnett Burn Center at Kansas University Hospital has received a three-year reverification from the American Burn Association and the American College of Surgeons. It is the only facility in the region certified by both national organizations.

To receive verification, each hospital undergoes an on-site review by a team of experienced surgeons. Verified burn centers must meet criteria that ensure burn care capability and institutional performance. Care of the burn patient is multidisciplinary, requiring expertise provided by physicians, scientists, nurses and therapists in critical care, infection, metabolism, nutrition, wound care, reconstruction and rehabilitation.

The Burnett Burn Center has been serving patients for 35 years.
