Mercy Hospital St. Louis recently opened a new Burn Center providing more privacy and comfort for patients and families. The center is located in the new patient tower and increases capacity from nine beds to 12 beds, with additional space necessary to care for complex burn patients. It also brings better access to the therapy gym where patients receive physical and occupational therapy services that are critical in the burn recovery process. The Burn Center at Mercy is the only facility providing comprehensive acute and reconstructive burn care for adults and children in eastern Missouri and southern Illinois.
