Our Lady of Lourdes Health offers southwest Louisiana’s only burn center. Our Specialized Burn Center provides patients with multidisciplinary care from initial admission through discharge.We administer comprehensive burn treatment—from life-threatening injuries, including chemical and electrical burns to less serious wounds that may be caused by fire, steam or hot liquids.
Our state-of-the-art facility features six inpatient beds that also function as intensive care rooms, an operating room specially designed to treat burn patients and an outpatient clinic. Our collaborative team of physicians, burn surgeons, nurses, therapists and social workers are experts in comprehensive burn care and work together to provide the highest level of compassionate care for both pediatric and adult patients.
Clinic hours for outpatient care: Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. - noon
Why does it matter that we are a verified burn center? The American Burn Association and the American College of Surgeons designed a rigorous review program that ensures verified centers offer the best care for their patients. This includes the whole patient experience from the time of injury through rehabilitation.
It also means we meet the highest quality of care available because we meet these high quality standards. The standards are for personnel qualifications, facilities resources, organizational structure, and medical care services.
