Shannon's Story: Advanced Burn Care

Watch Shannon Anderson overcome serious burns—She suffered a seizure and fell into the flames of a gas stove. Shes alive and enjoying life thanks to innovative burn treatments funded by your support.

You never expect you'll need burn care. But should you or a loved one suffer a burn injury, you can gain comfort in knowing that one of the nation's most advanced burn centers is located in your backyard at Lehigh Valley Health Network.

Every year at our Regional Burn Center, we care for more than 600 adults and children. That's three times the number of patients the average burn center sees. While we're driven to provide the best possible care, we can't do it without your support. Due to cuts in government funding for burn care, we need your help more than ever. You can trust that your donation will be used to enhance care, educate caregivers and fund research to discover innovative burn treatments.

Donations helped us create a state-of-the-art Regional Burn Center with 18 private rooms specially equipped to prevent infection. We are the region's only burn center with a full-time medical staff. We provide innovative wound treatments with less pain that result in improved cosmetic and functional outcomes.

Your support also helps us provide care in our Burn Recovery Center. It's where patients receive care after they are discharged, and where patients with less severe injuries receive outpatient care.

life isn't easy after getting burned. i got burned in 1998 when i was 17. i still have to be careful when i go out. i get stared at. i got burnt while cooking a gas stove. I was moving the pot to the back burner and my sleeve caught fire. I was at the burn unit at rile's children hospital in indiana for 5 weeks the first time and 2 weeks the second time.
