The Burn Family Suites of Northern Indiana will be a place for families to rest, reflect, and regroup. To mark the occasion, officials from the burn council, St. Joseph Hospital and other honored guests will gather at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 5, in Suite 301 of the attached Medical Office Building at St. Joseph Hospital to kick the project off with a bang.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Demolishing a wall is our version of a groundbreaking,&#8221; explained Doug Rodenbeck, chair of the burn council board. &#8220;We are converting an existing space in St. Joe&#8217;s medical office building, so no dirt needs to be moved\u00e2\u20ac\u201dbut several walls will need to come down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The burn suites will ultimately feature four separate sleep rooms; bathrooms; a common area with internet access to allow families to update their communities on their loved ones&#8217; progress; a kitchenette with a microwave and refrigerator; and a laundry area.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The suites are designed to be a quiet place away from the burn center for families to sleep, eat and shower,&#8221; added Rodenbeck. &#8220;At the same time, the rooms are only minutes away should there be an emergency. We expect this resource to be a great comfort for families during a time that often involves a lot of stress.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Substantial donations by the SDI Foundation, the Lions Eye and Tissue Bank of Indianapolis, and<br \/>\nSt. Joseph Hospital, as well as support from more than 30 Indiana Lions International Clubs and several Leos clubs, helped make this project a reality.<\/p>\n<p>The St. Joseph Regional Burn Center admits patients from all over the tri-state region. Families from outside of Fort Wayne often spend hours, and occasionally days, in the burn center&#8217;s waiting room while a loved one is receiving care.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The addition of the burn suites will help provide for the emotional and physical well-being of individuals who are so important in the patient&#8217;s recovery,&#8221; said Sheryl Mourey, administrative director of the critical care division at St. Joseph Hospital. &#8220;We are grateful for all the continued support this community lends to our burn patients. This resource will be a very positive addition to our delivery of unsurpassed burn care.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The development of the burn family suites has been a collaborative effort among several local organizations. Ongoing financial contributions will be required for the nonprofit burn council to maintain operations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have been planning these rooms for over three years, and we are grateful for the support of these groups that have brought us to this point,&#8221; said campaign co-chair and board member Chris Weidler. &#8220;We still have a few final financial needs to complete the rooms, as well as ongoing operational support to keep the rooms going.&#8221;<br \/>\nThose interested in making a donation may contact the Northeast Indiana Burn Council at (260) 423-2221 or via e-mail at <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"mailto:staff@neinbc.org\">staff@neinbc.org<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Northeast Indiana Burn Council, Inc<\/strong>.:<br \/>\nThe Northeast Indiana Burn Council, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that exists to help children, adults and families affected by a burn incident in Northern Indiana, Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan.
