Grossman Burn Center Expands to Louisiana

The Grossman Burn Center in Sherman Oaks will open a six bed plastic-surgery based burn center in Louisiana. The new burn center at Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center in Lafayette, La. opens in May. With the nearest burn center almost 60 miles away in Baton Rouge, the Grossman Burn Center in Lafayette will be the first of its kind in South Louisiana. Grossman expanded to Lafayette because of the city’s large concentration of oil and gas companies, among other factors. “The Grossman Burn Center’s national expansion strategy is focused on markets throughout the country like Lafayette, where there is a critical need for burn care resources,” Grossman President Dr. Peter H. Grossman stated. Grossman, the largest plastic surgery-based burn practice in the western United States, recently expanded to Bakersfield and is in ongoing discussions with hospitals in underserved areas throughout the country.
