Over the past couple of days members of the foundation attended the North East Regional Burn Conference in Boston where they participated in workshops on firefighter burn injuries and partnering with your local burn center. Foundation president Jason Woods and DCFEMS Assistant Chief John Donnelly also lead a panel for the burn professionals on All Hazards Disaster Planning for the Fire Service along with Boston District Chief of Special Operations Dennis Costin.
Very thought provoking session. Always fun to catch up with Dennis Costin too!

ICYMI: Our own Charlie Shyab talks about the legacy of MedStar Washington Hospital Center's Dr. Marion Jordan - who was killed in a car accident recently - and how Dr. Jordan helped him recover from burn injuries: on.wusa9.com/2DMPKbz
Doctor who treated burn victims after 9/11 died in car accident Friday morning

Dr. Jordan was known for caring for patients burned in the Pentagon attack.It is with heavy hearts that we regret to inform you of the passing of Dr. Marion H. Jordan, MD who passed away early this morning following a traffic accident.
Dr. Jordan was a long-time member of the medical staff MedStar Washington Hospital Center where he began his career as the director of the Burn Center in 1978. Under his leadership, the burn and trauma teams received world-wide recognition for their expertise and skills, particularly after the attack on the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.
Dr. Jordan was an active member and past president of the American Burn Association and an honorary member of the DC Firefighters Association IAFF Local 36. He was a close friend of the fire service and well respected by the firefighters from the Washington metropolitan region as well as around the U.S. His loss will be felt by firefighters, burn teams, and burn survivors around the country.
We extend our deepest sympathies to the Jordan family, and to burn and trauma staff at MedStar WHC who were close to Dr. Jordan.
Oh wow rip Dr Jordan.
