Medical City Plano Burn Center earns national verification

Plano, Texas — Medical City Plano’s Burn & Reconstructive Center has received verification for a second time from The American Burn Association. Medical City Plano is the only verified burn center in Collin County.

Official verification is an important indicator that Medical City Plano’s comprehensive burn center provides high-quality patient care from the time of injury through rehabilitation. ABA Burn Center Verification reflects commitment to quality care by promoting patient safety, regional education and outreach, injury prevention, innovation and research, and advocacy as part of the system of care.

As Collin County’s first and only Level I Trauma Center and verified Burn Center, Medical City Plano’s Burn & Reconstructive Center treats more than 3,600 patients annually from Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Louisiana. The hospital serves as a critical resource for this region, offering advanced surgical and emergency services, 24/7 specialist availability, and ongoing burn and trauma education and research.

“Our commitment to restoring our patients’ complete well-being, both physically and emotionally, extends beyond their time as inpatients, continuing throughout rehabilitation and into follow-up care at our outpatient clinic,” says James Cross, MD, medical director of the Burn and Reconstructive Center at Medical City Plano. “Our dedicated team has a combined 100 years of specialized burn care experience and is another reason so many turn to us as the destination of choice for healthcare excellence.”

In addition to earning designations for the highest level of care available, the hospital also received multiple Healthgrades awards including America’s 250 Best Hospitals and Patient Safety Excellence.
