Four nurses from the JMS Burn Center at Doctors Hospital in Augusta, GA recently traveled with Angel Flight Soars, Inc., a pilot organization that arranges free flights to medical treatments. Nurses Debbie, Shakora, Tara and Libby went to work in Jackson, MS, working 6 days a week with 12 hour shifts. Flying between locations has made a big difference in their commute. Earth Angel Ray (a retired Angel Flight Soars pilot), provided ground transportation for the nurses.

Motorcyclist Thankful For Surgeons, Staff Who Saved His Leg.
For Randy Kluber, Thanksgiving was truly a day worth being thankful for after a motorcycle accident almost took his leg. Driving home from the holiday dinner in 2017, Randy was hit by a car, resulting in a severely broken leg and a large open wound. He was prepared for the worst, but Drs. Benson Pulikkottil and Lily Daniali at Burn and Reconstructive Centers of America at Swedish Medical Center saved his leg.

The life, legacy and contributions to healthcare in Mississippi by Fred Mullins, MD, FACS, were recently honored during a special ceremony at Merit Health Central in Jackson.
During the ceremony, Mississippi State Representative John W. Hines, Sr., praised Dr. Mullins, the late CEO of Burn and Reconstructive Centers of America. He credited Dr. Mullins for bringing burn care back to Mississippi in 2008, commending his compassion for Mississippians and his passion for treating burn patients.
He presented a special framed proclamation to the family of Dr. Mullins and the hospital, honoring his life and legacy as not only a burn surgeon, but a champion of burn care.
Today, the JMS Burn and Reconstructive Center at Merit Health Central treats thousands of patients each year who suffer from burn, wound and extremity injuries. #JMS #BRCA

After more than 18 months of construction, the new burn tower at the JMS Burn Center at Doctors Hospital is ready to open. On Tuesday, February 9, at 11 a.m., we will have a ribbon cutting ceremony to name the new tower in memory of BRCA’s founder, Dr. Fred Mullins. The Fred Mullins, M.D., Tower at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center extends our ability to care for burn, hand and wound patients through additional operating and patient rooms, as well as other expanded clinical spaces. Affectionally known as “The Fred”, the tower is the largest project on the Doctors Hospital campus since the hospital was built nearly 50 years ago. The ceremony, due to the pandemic, is not open to the public, but we will be livestreaming it here. #BRCA #JMS #FredMullins #TheFredMullinsMDTower
