INTEGRIS Health is home to one of only two adult burn care centers in Oklahoma – and one of the largest burn centers in the United States.
A severe burn can be a seriously devastating injury – both physically and emotionally. If you’ve suffered a severe burn, you may be left with physical challenges like a loss of certain physical capabilities, disfigurement, scarring or limb loss. But you also may be facing the emotional and psychological injuries that come with severe burns, like, nightmares or flashbacks from the traumatizing event or maybe loss of a friend or family member in the fire.
At INTEGRIS Health, we understand how difficult this time can be. That’s why we’ll be at your side with the absolute best burn team available, including physicians, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, dietitians, social workers, respiratory therapists and more. Together, we can get through this.
Burns are traumatic injuries caused by different kinds of energy that cause specific burn wounds: thermal (extreme heat or cold), electrical or chemical energy. They are classified by degree, depending on how deep the burn has penetrated and how severe the damage is.
