In 1968, with the help of local Lions Clubs, UMC opened Nevada’s first, and only, Burn Care Center.

Today, the center remains the state’s only dedicated Burn Center and provides inpatient and outpatient care to residents of Utah, Arizona, and California as well as Nevada.

The expertise developed treating burns has been applied to caring for other wounds. A hyperbaric chamber – Nevada’s first – allows physicians an additional resource for patient care.
