  • News Release
    News Release January 29, 2020 Burn care making big strides thanks to $1.3M in support from Calgary Firefighters Burn Treatment Society CALGARY - Burn care in Calgary has seen significant advancements thanks to a partnership between the Calgary Firefighters Burn Treatment Society (CFBTS) and Calgary Health Trust. The burn unit at Foothills Medical Centre, appropriately named the Calgary Firefighters Burn Treatment Centre, cares for an average of 120 patients each year facing serious burns and other complex soft tissue injuries and skin loss as well treats an additional 700 outpatients with relatively minor burn conditions. CFBTS’ contribution of $1.3 million to Calgary Health Trust in support of burn care is the result of three years of effort by the organization to raise funds and awareness to improve outcomes and the quality of life for burn survivors and their families. “This has been a very exciting three years for the CFBTS. We have seen the research that we support advance in ways that we could not have imagined when we first started raising money,” says CFBTS President, Thomas Kerr. “Everyone at the Centre outdoes themselves time and time again with care they provide for patients. We feel humbled to be part of such a great team and we hope that we can continue to provide support for burn care in Southern Alberta that will have a positive impact on outcomes for survivors.” Funds from CFBTS have supported a number of initiatives, all putting Calgary on the forefront of burn care in Canada. According to the Calgary Firefighters Burn Treatment Centre’s Medical Director, the level of success patients are able to achieve would not be possible without the support of CFBTS and the community.
