The Pediatric Acute Wound Service (PAWS) is a program in which staff, specially trained in burn and wound care, provide care to children in the hospital and to outpatients. With PAWS, children who do not need to be hospitalized can also have their wound issues addressed.
The PAWS team evaluates each child's needs and coordinates a specialized treatment plan.
