Thunderbirds Charities Pediatric Burn Unit located inside the Diane and Bruce Halle Arizona Burn Center opened May 2024. This new 75,000 square-foot Burn Center was designed from both the patient’s and clinician’s perspective, bringing the functions and features of burn care excellence into one location. Thunderbirds Charities Pediatric Burn Unit is a secured wing with private patient rooms, as well as both a pediatric playroom and dedicated teen room designed to give young patients a safe space to regain a sense of normalcy during their hospitalization. All areas staffed by Child Life specialists, specially trained to address the needs of pediatric patients and their families in the hospital. A unique feature in the new Halle Arizona Burn Center is a state-of-the-art Wellness Center for rehabilitation therapy to support long-term physical and emotional survivorship care.  Treating some of the most complex and traumatic burn and wound cases, the Arizona Burn Center at Valleywise Health is one of the nation’s largest and busiest academic burn centers with 6,000 outpatient visits and more than 1,000 inpatient admissions each year.
