Why a Burn Center is Critical
Burn patients today present greater complexity than ever. Burn injuries can result from flash or flame, scalding, contact, chemical, or electrical sources, each requiring a personalized and continuously evolving treatment plan. Advances in burn care spans multiple areas from wound assessment and fluid resuscitation to infection control, highlighting the increasing complexity of treatment.
Equally important is the individual patient journey and the comprehensive support needed to ensure their recovery and long-term well-being.
Why Your Support Matters — Now and Always
The Paul Silverstein Burn Center is launching a multi-phase infrastructure and equipment upgrade to meet growing demand and enhance patient safety and outcomes. The renovation plan will modernize patient rooms, expand ICU capacity, and enhance safety with integrated cardiac monitors and in-room showers — crucial upgrades for better infection control and patient comfort.
But philanthropy fuels much more than physical upgrades. It sustains the daily care of burn patients and supports their families, right here in the Oklahoma communities they call home.
For over 50 years, generous donors have helped provide world-class burn care by funding critical programs we must continue to support for decades to come:
Advanced Training for Medical Staff and First Responders
Equipping EMS personnel with lifesaving Advanced Burn Life Support skills and providing ongoing caregiver education to ensure personalized, comprehensive care from the moment of injury.
Expanded Intensive Care and Critical Equipment

Family Support and Recovery
