Nationally recognized burn center in the Upper Midwest

Burn injuries need specialized care, and most small hospitals aren’t equipped to offer the level of care needed for patients with burns. Since severe burns are uncommon, most medical professionals haven’t treated patients with these injuries. Many lack the skills and expertise needed to treat burns so their patients have the best possible recoveries.

At the Regions Hospital Burn Center, we’ve helped thousands of burn survivors heal from their injuries and return home. For more than 60 years, we’ve provided specialized burn care for adults and kids with all types of burn injuries. We serve the Upper Midwest, including Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota.

We care for your body, mind and spirit – with burn support groups, specialized physical therapy and even summer camps for children with burn injuries, we help you build confidence as you recover.

We use the latest, most advanced burn treatments, including treatments that we’ve developed here at the burn center. Innovations like our transparent face mask have become worldwide care standards. Regions Hospital Burn Center is recognized as a leader in treating burns, and our team travels across the country teaching our techniques to other medical professionals.

Our exceptional burn surgeons, nurse practitioners, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, physician assistants and burn specialists are available 24/7 to treat patients of all ages with burns. From burn treatment through rehabilitation and recovery, we’ll be by your side with the highest standard of burn care.
