You are recovering from a burn injury and may have many concerns. However, you can be assured that many of your needs are similar to those of others who have also experienced a burn injury. This booklet will answer some of your questions, reduce some of your fears, and provide you with information to help you plan for the future.
At The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC) we use a team approach to your recovery and rehabilitation. The physicians, physician's assistant, nursing staff, dietitian, social worker, and physical therapists work together to help you get well. You will probably meet each of the team members during your hospital stay, but their involvement with you depends on your individual needs. Other staff members such as the occupational therapy counselor, psychology nurses, and chaplains are available if needed.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask any of the professional health care staff.
