Burn care collaboration helps victim

The lack of specialty medical care in rural Montana can be stressful for those needing treatment.

Tim Huckstep of Dillon, who suffered severe burns to his feet, was able to receive burn care through TeleBurn, the use of technology to deliver burn care to patients in hard-to-reach places. TeleBurn is now available to the residents of Dillon and southwest Montana communities because of the partnership between Deer Lodge Medical Center and University of Utah Health.
