The UMMC Mississippi Burn Center provides adult and pediatric care for patients with every level of burn severity. Inpatient critical care and wound debridement are provided within the unit, along with physical and occupational therapy as patients progress. Outpatient follow-up clinics are held for adult and pediatric patients.

For all hospital transfers:

MED-COM will notify the burn attending physician, who will contact the referring provider to discuss the patient’s status and arrange for pre-transport care, so the patient is optimized for care upon arrival at UMMC. Contacting MED-COM allows the burn care team to be as prepared as possible for the patient’s needs.

For outpatient referrals:

  • Call (601) 984-BURN (2876).

For internal referrals (UMMC Jackson):

  • In Epic, select “Consult to Burn”
