Which facilities are pediatric Burn Care Centers?

• A. Sunrise Hospital
• B. UMC Pediatric ED
• C. Las Vegas VA Medical Center
• D. Both Sunrise Hospital and UMC Pediatric ED

Answer: (D)

Pediatric burn care requires specialized, child-focused facilities and teams that can provide multidisciplinary treatment tailored to youngsters. A true pediatric burn center has dedicated pediatric burn surgeons, pediatric intensive care and anesthesia, wound care expertise, and protocols designed for children’s physiology, pain management, and long-term rehabilitation.

Sunrise Hospital and the UMC Pediatric Emergency Department have the recognized pediatric burn center capabilities in this context, meaning they can provide the comprehensive, specialized care children with burns need. The Las Vegas VA Medical Center typically serves adult veterans and does not operate a dedicated pediatric burn unit, so it is not considered a pediatric burn center.
