Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors is an American non-profit organization. As "one of the first burn support organizations in the United States", it is "dedicated to empowering anyone affected by a burn injury".[1] It is based in Grand Rapids, Michigan.[2]
The organization was founded in 1977 by Alan Breslau, a man who was extensively burned due to a commercial airliner crash in 1963.[1] After visiting a boy at a burn center several years earlier, Breslau recognized a need for peer support for those with burn injuries.[1]
