St. Luke's Medical Center recently announced its plans to partner with Grossman Burn Centers in order to build a new facility in Phoenix. The new burn center will create about 40 new jobs, including RN jobs Arizona, PT jobs Arizona (Click here), and psychology positions.

The new facility will offer a multidisciplinary approach aimed at providing life-saving medical care. There also will be a strong focus on returning patients as close as possible to their pre-injury condition, not just in a cosmetic sense, but in a functional and emotional sense as well.

"Grossman Burn Centers brings years of expertise and an innovative approach to burn treatment," Ed Myers, CEO of St. Luke's Medical Center, said in a press release. "With our well-established Wound Center and surgical programs, and a strong team of highly qualified physicians on the medical staff and health care professionals, we are ready to expand this much-needed service in Arizona."

Aside from its renowned burn program, which offers critical care and reconstructive surgical treatments for burn patients, the new facility will offer an array of other burn related services. Some of these include: inpatient intensive and intermediate care, outpatient care, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, psychology services, and rehabilitation.

"An important part of our program includes collaboration with local fire departments, as well as community physicians and organizations, to bring prevention education and resources to the communities we serve," added Lorena Silva, chief nursing officer for St. Luke's Medical Center, said.

California-based Grossman Burn Center is the largest plastic surgery-based burn practice in the western United States. The company currently operates centers in Santa Ana, Calif.; Bakersfield, Calif.; and Lafayette, La.; and is undergoing a national expansion.
