Outpatient Burn & Wound Center
.................................................................................................................................................
The Burn and Wound
Outpatient Center is a continuum of our Inpatient Burn & Wound Center. It is
a walk-in clinic treating all types of minor burn and wounds, providing
expert, high quality care for those patients not requiring admission to the
hospital and for those patients who have been discharged from the hospital
but need follow-up care until fully healed.
The outpatient burn and
wound clinic has conducted over 4,000 patient visits in the last year, and
provides for a seamless transition from inpatient-hospital admission to care
after discharge while at home until the healing process is complete. The
outpatient clinic also cares for patients that do not need admission to the
hospital burn unit.
The Burn and Wound Outpatient Center is open
Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A burn physician consult is
required for admission to the Outpatient Center.
Appointments and referrals can be made by
calling the Burn and Wound Outpatient Center at 417-820-7693. Consults can
be made during off hours by contacting the Burn and Wound Inpatient Center
at 417-820-2974. The same burn team members work in both centers.
