The children that come to Gillette for care are just beginning their journey to fully realizing their potential. To fully support our patients throughout childhood and into adulthood, Gillette offers transitional care management and conducts groundbreaking research that effects the future of patient care. 

Transition to Adult Services

We understand that leaving providers you’ve seen since infancy or childhood can be scary. As your child moves from pediatric to adult health care—we support your family in the transition. Our goal is to help you and your child find age-appropriate care with providers who understand the complexity of treating adults who have childhood-onset disabilities.

Research at Gillette

Gillette has been at the forefront of treating children who have conditions affecting the musculoskeletal and neurological systems since 1897. We consider it our responsibility to use our experience to conduct research that will improve treatment options for children who have disabilities—not only for kids treated at Gillette, but for children around the world.
