Grossman Burn Center

Before 2009, Kern County residents in need of specialized burn care had to travel more than 100 miles – either north to Fresno or south to Los Angeles – for treatment. That all changed when San Joaquin Community Hospital (SJCH) partnered with Los Angeles-based Grossman Burn Centers (GBC) to bring a full-treatment burn center to Bakersfield. Now, all residents – from kindergarteners to firefighters – can have piece of mind knowing the best burn care is right here in their hometown.

The Grossman Burn Center at SJCH provides:

Full-treatment burn care at our four-bed inpatient center.
Outpatient rehabilitation and treatment at The Aera Clinic.
State-of-the-art technology, including a hydrotherapy suite.
World-renowned caregivers and plastic surgeons.
Ongoing support groups and psychological care.
Community education on burn prevention and treatment.
Financial assistance for child burn victims through The Chevron Fund.
