A BridgeToHope From a Mother?s Perspective? The MIHS Arizona Burn Center Changing and Saving Lives at Maricopa Integrated Health System


Dear Friends, Thank you for joining the Maricopa Health Foundation today to learn more about the amazing work being done every day at the MIH S Arizona Burn Center. We will highlight this important resource for any one of us, our families or our neighbors experiencing a burn accident. Few of us will need the extensive services provided in the center. All of us need burn prevention education and the reassuring knowledge that this national jewel exists in our community.

Nita Francis BOARD CHAIR

We?ll hear, from a mother?s point of view, extraordinary stories of survival, of spirit and of caregiving. This is just one of many impactful community health programs at Maricopa Integrated Health System, Arizona?s only safety net health system and public teaching hospital. I hope you will leave today with a better understanding of why I am passionate about supporting the MIH S mission of providing exceptional care, without exception, every patient, every time.

MIHSArizona Burn Center As Arizona?s only nationally verified burn center, Maricopa Integrated Health System?s comprehensive Arizona Burn Center is the leading provider of emergency services to adult and pediatric burn patients from across the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Flames, boiling water, chemical spills, electrocution ? any of these can cause burns or pulmonary damage. Fortunately, MIH S?s Arizona Burn Center provides a comprehensive set of medical and ancillary specialty care services for adult and pediatric burn patients. That?s why MIH S?s Arizona Burn Center, which celebrated 50 years of service in 2014, is one of the busiest burn centers in the United States, seeing over 5,000 patients annually, and boasts a survival rate of more than 98 percent. It is nationally recognized for its top-ranked burn care and research. The Arizona Burn Center is the epicenter of the state of Arizona Burn Disaster Network. Established in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the network connects 10 hospitals to the burn center through telemedicine. MIH S?s Arizona Burn Center has 45 beds, state of the art equipment and physicians and nurses who are all board certified in emergency burn services.

Katy Owens MOTHER OF CORBET AND BONNIE, 2014 BURN SURVIVORS

Katy Owens grew up in Phoenix. She and her husband, Buddy, are parents to 16-year-old Corbet and 14-year-old Bonnie. It was the end of a relaxing family New Year?s Day in North Central Phoenix. The kids were sitting together by the living room fireplace, both watching videos on their phones. Corbet was wearing his brand-new coat from Christmas. They asked Mom and Dad if they could go outside for one more jump on the trampoline. Corbet and Bonnie had been watching YouTube videos showing aerosol cans making fire torches. They weren?t on the trampoline. Katy soon found herself in an ambulance with both of her children. Corbet told the paramedic his pain level was an 8 out of 10. The paramedic told Katy they were heading straight to the Arizona Burn Center at MIH S.


Lilly McCune MOTHER OF ISABELLA, A 2018 BURN SURVIVOR

Lilly and JD McCune are the proud parents of 15-year-old Zachary and 9-year-old Isabella. Their lives were full managing a family business and raising two children. Then came the day their focus and priorities changed. On March 17, 2018, the McCunes were preparing for a neighborhood St. Patrick?s Day party. As usual, it would include a family cookout, kids?games, bikes, skateboards and chatting around the fire. With her corned beef and cabbage cooking in the house and burgers on the grill, Lilly headed outside to help. JD, Isabella, Zachary and their neighbors were near the unlit fire pit they used the night before. Isabella?s 8-year-old friend wanted to ride a bike, but with party setup underway, Lilly wasn?t comfortable letting her go on her own. Lilly got on a bike to ride down the street with Isabella?s friend. When she returned, her life would change forever. The McCune?s next nine months would revolve around the MIH S Arizona Burn Center.
