Mobilizing a network of community activists, Dr. Hugh Frank, a San Diego hand surgeon, raised money for a specialized treatment center. And he made a profound difference in our region and the lives of thousands of individuals.

Today, the Burn Institute reaches thousands of youth, adults, and seniors throughout San Diego and Imperial Counties. With our programs and services, we help prevent fires and burn risk – and the injuries that can result. For individuals with burn injuries and their families, we provide support programs that provide invaluable coping skills, community, and hope.
