Thank you for reaching out, and I’m truly sorry to hear about your son’s injury. Burn injuries can be physically and emotionally challenging, especially for children. Timely, expert care—including skin grafting—can make a profound difference in healing, scarring, and overall recovery.
At MHN (Managed Healthcare Network), we partner with trusted hospitals and specialists to ensure patients—especially children—have access to advanced care at affordable, negotiated rates. We’re committed to helping families receive the treatment they need without excessive financial burden.
In Houston, the following MHN-affiliated hospitals are well-known for their burn care and skin grafting expertise:
Shriners Children’s Texas (Galveston, near Houston)
