Foundation for Burns and Trauma Charity Profile
The original mission of the Foundation was to: (1) assist in the development of a community based burn center, and (2) to respond to the community's desire for an organization that can receive and earmark public donations for burn patient treatment, rehabilitation, and public education. The Arizona Burn Center was established at Maricopa Medical Center (MMC), 2601 E. Roosevelt, in Phoenix, providing the state with its only burn center.
The Foundation's current mission: To assist burn victims and their families in becoming burn survivors through rehabilitation, treatment and research; the reduction of death and injury from burns and fire through prevention education; and to serve as an advocacy partner for the prevention of trauma associated with other injuries.
The Foundation believes that most burns are preventable and this can best be realized through the education of the community and its children.
