NC Jaycee Burn Center

For over twenty years, the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center has been providing state-of-the-art care to burn victims across the state of North Carolina from the smallest minor wound, to life-threatening critical burn injuries. As the largest burn center between Baltimore and Miami the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center averages almost 600 inpatient admissions and supports over 3500 outpatient clinic visits by burn patients.
At the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center, “multidisciplinary” is not a catchword but the credo that drives the 21-bed specialty care facility at UNC Hospitals. Committed professionals are the heart and soul of the multidisciplinary burn team. The driving force behind this collaborative care model is a dedicated nursing staff with the courage to care and the power to heal. Nurses at the Jaycee Burn Center are skilled members of a highly specialized discipline. Nurses from all levels of expertise and experience take part in important evidence based research, teaching opportunities, and community support services. All staff members are invited and encouraged to participate in our global outreach program for burn awareness and safety.
