The majority of conditions Gillette specializes in treating have courses of care that run for months, years, or an entire lifetime. Although a number of hospitals can and do provide certain pediatric specialty services, Gillette is unique in the region for specializing exclusively in the care and rehabilitation needs of individuals with medical complexity and lifelong conditions that affect the musculoskeletal and neurological systems.Gillette clinics across greater Minnesota improve access to care for families who live outside the Twin Cities metro area, and support local providers by facilitating collaboration with Gillette specialists. Gillette continues to enhance its presence around the state, aiming for a more consistent presence in key communities and providing more consistent scheduling and give families greater access to care.
