About Gillette

Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare cares for patients who have some of the most complex, rare and traumatic conditions in pediatric medicine, including cerebral palsy, epilepsy, spina bifida and hydrocephalus.

Unlike other children’s hospitals, we don’t often talk about cures at Gillette because many of the conditions we treat are permanent and require lifelong care. But we know that with innovative medical and surgical intervention, proven therapies and orthotics, prosthetics and seating, and the support of compassionate health care professionals, children who have these conditions can thrive and live happy, healthy, productive lives.

Children who have disabilities and complex medical needs—and their families—have been at the center of our mission for more than 120 years. Learn more about how we’ve built on our long history to set the standard of care for some of the most challenging childhood conditions.

 

Why Gillette?

If your pediatrician or primary care provider has referred you to Gillette, it’s likely because your child has a medical need that’s more complicated than a typical childhood illness and requires specialized care.

Whether your child needs long-term treatment for a chronic condition or disability, or short-term care to help them through an immediate health issue, Gillette is the right place for you and your family.

Because we understand and treat the rarest and most complex musculoskeletal and neurological conditions, we’re the best at treating less severe cases as well.
