Do you have any support groups at the hospital for burn patients and their families?
Answer
We have several burn support groups. Due to the fact that we specialize in pediatric burns, we run many support groups that are focused both on the patient and their family. The first, the Phoenix Society, comes in and runs a support group for our patients in the acute side of the hospital. We also have a "sibling group" which is for the siblings of patients on our units. Finally, we run a "parent group" three times per week. All are very important groups to have with this population.
