Welcome to the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors

Mission Statement

To empower anyone affected by a burn injury through peer support, education, and advocacy.

Vision Statement

Opportunity to participate in Peer Support study

Our friends at University of Kentucky are helping the burn survivor community to learn more about the value of peer support. Since a large part of the Phoenix Society's mission involves peer support, we are encouraging all burn survivors to participate.

Do you have a helpful resource?

New to the website is our Resource Locater which allows those who need resources to find a description of what is available in their area by doing a simple search.   If you are a hospital affiliate or a nonprofit organization, it is important that you submit your resources so those who need them can find them.  Please submit your resources now by first becoming a member of our online community. Once you have a profile created, log in and click on the edit profile link to add your resources.  If you are a survivor looking for resources in your area, you may now use our resource locater to do an online search.

Feedback Needed! 

We are committed to making our online community welcoming, beneficial, and easy to use.  Please let us know which features you find helpful and what we can do to improve your online experience.  Contact us at any time.

We would like to thank the law firm of Saltz, Mongeluzzi, Barrett & Bendesky, PC for supporting the first phase of development for our new website.
