When patients experience burns, especially severe burns that extend over large parts of the body, they need intensive care from many people, doctors, surgeons, social workers, therapists. The best place to get this kind of multi-disciplinary care is at a burn center. But across the country, burn centers are closing. UNC Hospital is bucking that trend. This month, they’re expanding their burn unit, adding 10 intensive care beds, with more to come. Rose Hoban reports.
