Pediatric craniofacial and plastic surgery physician, Martin Lacey, MD, and pediatric orthopedic surgeon Stephen Sundberg, MD, retired this winter.

Gillette Children’s is excited to announce that as of January 22, 2023, we will be providing pediatric craniofacial and plastic surgery services in Duluth, Minnesota.

Orthopedic surgeon Kevin Walker, MD, took on a new role at Gillette Children’s last fall as the medical director of Surgical Services. Dr. Walker transitioned into the role after Peter Kim, MD, served most recently.

The Gillette Neurosurgery team is proficient in diagnosing and treating a wide array of conditions. With the largest group of pediatric neurosurgeons in Minnesota, the Gillette Neurosurgery team takes on the full scope of conditions and concerns affecting the spinal cord, neck, nerves, and brain. The team also provides neurosurgical care to treat the secondary effects of complex conditions.

Specialists at Gillette’s Cerebral Palsy Institute are focused on advancing research and innovation. Gillette Children’s Cerebral Palsy Institute is committed to pursuing the brightest possible future for individuals who have cerebral palsy (CP).

The American Academy of Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine (AACPDM) awarded a grant to several Gillette Children’s staff to begin investigating muscle quality and function in people who have cerebral palsy (CP) before spasticity treatment to the gastrocnemius.

Gillette Children’s is leading the way in new treatments, medications, and therapies to help improve the lives of children diagnosed with rare diseases.

The process of transitioning patients from pediatric to adult care requires a thoughtful plan—one that provides patients and their families with the skills and empowerment needed to navigate their well-being.
