How Can I Help? Support the Burn Center at Washington Hospital Center
September 13, 2001

WASHINGTON, DC - September 13, 2001 – Following this week’s disasters at the Pentagon and World Trade Center, Washingtonians are wondering what they can do to help. Making a tax-deductible gift to the Burn Center at Washington Hospital Center is one way to make an immediate impact locally. Interested individuals may contact the Washington Hospital Center Foundation at 202-877-6558 or may send a gift to:

Burn Center Fund
Washington Hospital Center Foundation
110 Irving Street, NW
Washington, DC 20010-2975

Funds raised will allow the Burn Center to assist burn victims who can not afford their treatment, offset the costs of skin and blood products, purchase specialized treatment and rehabilitative equipment, conduct burn wound research and train burn nurses and therapists.

A number of burn victims from this week’s disaster were transported to Washington Hospital Center for specialized treatment and are continuing to receive care here.

The Burn Center at Washington Hospital Center is the only comprehensive adult regional burn center for the District of Columbia, Southern Maryland and Northern Virginia. The 17-bed center features an intensive care unit, a 10-bed intermediate care/rehab unit, a burn rehabilitation therapy department and a burn clinic. A dedicated operating room in the intensive care unit ensures timely surgical treatment of major and minor burns. Marion Jordan, MD, Burn Center Director, is the president-elect of the American Burn Association.
