Description
The Burn and Reconstructive Centers of America (BRCA) is committed to following our mission that harkens back the first patient in 1978: Healing Patients. Healing Families. Healing Lives. Our mission is important to us because it’s important to those we serve.
Since the first patient was treated at Doctors Hospital in Augusta, Georgia, in 1978, our physicians banded together to first create Physicians’ Multispecialty Group to provide patient care. PMG evolved into Joseph M. Still Burn Centers, Inc. (JMS), the forerunner of BRCA. And now BRCA continues to grow and partner with hospitals across the country to provide patient access to a continuum of care that supports the patient from initial injury through long-term rehabilitation, while ensuring no patient is turned away. We provide quality burn, hand, wound and reconstructive care to patients through new facilities, new partnerships and the latest advancements in care.
Four decades later, BRCA is the nation’s most extensive burn system. Patients from nearly every state in America and more than a dozen countries have been treated by our providers. Headquartered in Augusta, GA, Burn and Reconstructive Centers of America provides services from the nation's largest individual burn center: the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors Hospital of Augusta.
Here at BRCA, we provide a continuum of specialized burn, hand, wound, and reconstructive care to patients across the United States through new facilities, new partnerships, and the latest advancements in treatment technique and technology. By utilizing hyperbaric oxygen therapy, laser scar revision therapy, and more, BRCA stays at the forefront of acute and reconstructive care. In keeping with our mission, and to better help our patients, our list of services is continuously expanding as well as our number of inpatient and outpatient facilities.
