At Gillette, we focus care on conditions affecting the brain, bones, and movement. Gillette provides specialty care to patients whose conditions include:

• Complex conditions such as limb differences, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, spina bifida, scoliosis, hydrocephalus and muscular dystrophy.
• Rare disorders such as proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD), osteogenisis imperfecta, Rett syndrome, and spinal muscular atrophy.
• Traumatic injuries resulting in amputations or including spinal cord injuries, severe brain injuries, complex or acute fractures and sports-related soft tissue injuries.

Whether our patients need long-term treatment for a chronic condition or disability, or short-term care to help them through an immediate health issue, Gillette can help. Because we understand and treat the rarest and most complex conditions, we’re experts at treating less severe cases as well. The high level of clinical expertise our providers bring to Gillette has helped us build a complete system of care around these core conditions.

The Gillette Care Model

The Gillette care model differentiates us from other healthcare systems. Our providers’ focused expertise in specialty care enables them to work in tandem with families, anticipating and meeting patients’ needs. This creates trusting and long-term relationships between families and care teams, as many patients we serve have lifelong medical needs.

Clinical Excellence

Gillette clinicians take pediatric care to the next level. They have advanced education and comprehensive training in the care of medically complex children, and many are regarded as leaders in their fields. Specialty-care providers, including prosthetist-orthotists, from around the U.S. are attracted to Gillette for the opportunity to work with colleagues in their field, further bolstering our expertise. Additionally, our National Commission on Orthotic Prosthetic Education (NCOPE) and American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) Pediatric Residency Programs are highly regarded and sought after throughout the US for providing exceptional training.

Patients Come First

Safety: We collaborate with 130+ children’s hospitals nationwide as a Solutions for Patient Safety (SPS) member. In 2018, SPS granted us “Navigator” status for our patient safety achievements. Gillette is one of only 13 of the 130+ SPS hospitals to hold this designation. We also are accredited by the Joint Commission, which ensure high standards for patient safety continue to be maintained.

Quality: We’re the only Twin Cities hospital to have both a Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center accreditation and a Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities-accredited pediatric specialty program. We’re the only pediatric hospital in the Midwest and the first hospital in Minnesota to partner with the Amputee Coalition to improve patient care.

Research: Gillette’s research focuses on translating medical advances into our care model to benefit our patient population of patients by improving treatments, care and outcomes. Members of our Prosthetics Clinic team has published multiple articles about prosthetic care and innovation for the betterment of patients nationwide.

Excellence: Our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit holds the prestigious Beacon Award for Excellence from the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses.

Summa Rehab Hospital is a rehabilitation facility serving the greater Akron area. At Summa Rehab Hospital, our team of rehab experts design unique treatment plans for individuals suffering from various physical and cognitive impairments. Our team members are trained in treating musculoskeletal, neurological, rheumatic, cardiovascular, and other conditions. This allows us to offer a broad range of specialized rehabilitation services to our community. Summa Rehab Hospital has been accredited by The Joint Commission and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) for the following services and specialty programs: Inpatient Rehabilitation (Adults), Amputation Specialty Program (Adults), Brain Injury Specialty Program (Adults), Spinal Cord Specialty Program (Adults), and Stroke Specialty Program (Adults). Our accreditation demonstrates our commitment to high standards of performance, quality, and patient safety. Our dedicated nurses, physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, case managers, and support staff are all committed to maintaining these high standards.

Rehabilitation can occur on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Inpatient rehabilitation refers to a level of care in which patients stay at a rehab hospital to address their medical needs and recovery goals. Patients have immediate access to their care team and participate in frequent, intensive therapy programs. Outpatient therapy is often recommended to patients who would benefit from rehab services but have no acute medical needs that require hospitalization. A benefit of outpatient rehab is that participants can live at home and only need to visit a rehab center for scheduled visits. Some individuals participate in outpatient therapy after being discharged from a hospital, while others are referred directly from home.

The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center’s Amputee Rehabilitation program meets the physical and emotional needs of patients and their families facing limb loss due to accident, illness or birth defect. Our program is designed to bring clients, their families and their prosthetist together with our trained professionals to provide maximum functional ability.

Care considerations involve the amputation and the prevention of complications and future amputations. Care and follow-up for these individuals requires a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach. Each person is evaluated by our team of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and social work experts.

Patients achieve the highest function possible through education and care including:

• Achieving comfort and independence with an amputation for those without a prosthesis
• Care for your amputation, including wound care, phantom pain/phantom sensation, residual limb management and desensitization
• Assistance with choosing the appropriate prosthesis for best fit and function
• Prevention of complications
• Return to daily activities (walking and climbing stairs) and work/community integration
• Return to driving, if applicable

The Occupational Therapy Driver Rehabilitation Program at Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center helps restore mobility to those affected by neurological, orthopedic or developmental conditions, or to those who have experienced age-related changes in function. Our goal is to help you return to safe, independent driving. Instruction on how to safely operate a vehicle using vehicle adaptions, compensatory techniques and/or safety procedure training. Vehicle adaptions may include:

• Spinner knob
• Hand controls
• Left foot accelerator
• Turn signal crossover
