Why Choose the Arizona Burn Center?
Established in 1965, the Diane & Bruce Halle Arizona Burn Center has a long-standing history of innovation and compassionate care. Our staff are not only caregivers but also pioneers in burn treatment, contributing to research and advancements that shape the future of burn care. They are supported with:
- Comprehensive Care Facility: Spanning 72,000 square feet, our center includes 16 adult ICU beds, 24 adult acute care beds, and 10 pediatric ICU/acute care beds.
- Integrated Services: Our facility houses a dedicated burn emergency department, outpatient clinics, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and a specialized therapy space tailored specifically for burn survivors, all designed to provide seamless patient care. Since in-patient burn care can take weeks or months, we get to know and understand our patients and remain in contact with them long after their discharge.
- Educational Commitment: As a teaching hospital, we offer continuous learning opportunities, including fellowships and training programs, to foster professional growth.
- Collaborative Environment: Our diverse team of professionals includes surgeons, nurses, therapists, psychologists, and social workers, all united by a common goal: patient recovery.
Voices of Valleywise Health
“I love working in the Burn Center because almost all our stories have happy endings. It’s a really tough job—it’s hard to do—but there’s a great payoff. We take care of people during the worst period of their lives, and we help them get better. They come back, they’re grateful, and they go on to do bigger and better things. I like being part of that. I also love our team approach. Most of the people I work with here, I’ve worked with for many years. We like each other, we enjoy each other’s company, and there’s this synergy working here that is energizing.”

Our facility and staff are world-class and recognized as such by the burn care community. It is a privilege and honor to work for an organization so dedicated to quality care for the patients and community it serves, and our new facility exudes this feel immediately upon entering the center.”
