Mission

The Northwest Burn Foundation serves children, adults and families in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. Our mission is to prevent burns and improve the quality of life for burn survivors through programs, education and research. Since 1985 the foundation has provided families with safe, clean emergency housing. The three units are directly across the street from the Harborview Medical Center, which houses the Burn Center. The three apartments allow family members to stay close to their loved ones during hospitalization and treatment. There are no costs to family members, thus taking away the additional stress of added expenses during an already difficult time. Families stay anywhere from one week to as long as five months.
