Abstract:
In March 1972, an article appeared in Carolina Country discussing the large number of burn victims who required treatment every year in the state and the fact that the nearest burn centers were in Richmond and Atlanta. In the current issue, Dr. Christopher C. Fordham, III, dean of the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, reports on the progress of building a center at the university. Architects are well along with plans. The center will include twenty-four beds, operating room facilities, and areas of physical and occupational therapy.
