Making Connections

During the week of April 13th, our director, Katrina, joined hundreds of other Burn Care professionals at the 2026 American Burn Association’s Annual Conference in Orlando, FL. The yearly gathering of Nurses, Surgeons, Doctors, Firefighters, Burn Camp Directors, and Burn Foundation leaders from all over the US offers opportunities to build new partnerships, learn about new treatments, share groundbreaking studies, and collaborate in caring for burn survivors. Katrina had the chance to connect with our hospital partners from Santa Clara Valley Medical, UC Irvine, Torrance Memorial, LA General, and UCLA, as well as our Burn Foundation partners from the Children’s Burn Foundation, Phoenix Society, IAFF Burn Camps, and Bakersfield Firefighter Burn Foundation.
