Burned Children's Fund
MUSC Children's Hospital Burned Children's Fund is a continuation of a program founded in 1986 by South Carolina's firefighters
and MUSC Children's Hospital to ease the recovery process for MUSC's pediatric burn patients and
their families. Donations to this fund support South
Carolina's only referral center for pediatric burns, MUSC Children's Hospital Pediatric Burn
Center.
The funds raised from the program are used for non-medical items that are not covered
by insurance. Items may include:
- Special protective clothing
- Burn ointments and creams
- Therapeutic toys
- Transportation, food and shelter for families that are required to return to the Pediatric Burn Center for
ongoing treatment
- Bicycles and sports equipment for muscle exercise
- Any other expense directly related to the recovery of a child that is not covered by insurance
The Burned Children's Fund and the Pediatric Burn Center
co-sponsor Camp Can Do, a camp designed specially for burned children. The Burned Children's Fund also supports the FAN Club. This program matches firefighters with burned children
to help them return to school as well as educate their classmates about the child's experience.
Also accomplished is the creation of a hydrotherapy area in MUSC
Children's Hospital, improving the necessary, but unpleasant dressing changes and treatments
a burned child must endure.
