Inpatient Care
Burn and wound treatment - The Bronson Burn and Wound Team treats any patient with burns and wounds that require medical attention. Once a patient has been stabilized, treated and returned home, Bronson's Acute Burn and Wound Clinic provides ongoing outpatient care and support-allowing patients to maintain their independence at home while receiving specialized care.
Outpatient Care
Acute Burn and Wound Clinic - At this clinic, nationally accredited, certified burn and wound care nurses provide outpatient care for patients of all ages. Patients can get back to their daily lives and visit the clinic regularly for the care they need. A physician referral is required.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a medical treatment that exposes the entire body to 100 percent oxygen. This oxygen is delivered to body tissues and helps the growth of new small blood vessels, which improves the healing process. A physician referral is required.
