Gillette Children's Tori Bahr, MD, has been named Associate Medical Director of Pediatrics.

Transitioning pediatric patients to adult care providers can be dangerous - especially for patients who have complex medical needs. At Gillette, an effective pediatric transition to adult care starts early and includes purposeful planning, partnership building and preparing patients and their families to navigate the adult healthcare system.

We often get questions from primary care providers about when they should refer their patients who aren’t meeting milestones to Gillette. The answer is: as soon as possible.

If you have a patient experiencing chronic pneumonia, you know treating the systemic cause of their infection can greatly reduce future episodes. The Gillette Aerodigestive Clinic offers insight on aspiration and infectious pneumonia.

Excessive drooling can cause a number of problems for patients and their families. Pragmatic management of saliva cannot only reduce the risk of pulmonary illness, but it can also help patients thrive in mainstream activities. 

If you suspect your patient suffers from pulmonary aspiration, the Gillette Aerodigestive Clinic can help. Learn more about this serious condition and our multidisciplinary approach to care.

When parents report that their child does not sleep through the night or has other sleep disturbances, that can be a red flag in an appointment. Learn about the four types of physical pediatric sleep disorders, and how a sleep study can help provide answers.

Madeline Gagnon, MD, Complex Care Pediatrics and Ketzela Marsh, MD share the challenges of COVID-19 for medically-complex patients and families, as well as actions they can take support 'at risk' patients.

At Gillette, most of the patients we see have complex musculoskeletal, neurological and neurodegenerative illnesses. We know that our patients—through no fault of their own—rarely fit neatly into a primary care practice clinic flow. These patients require time and expertise that can be as scarce as the rarity of their conditions. That’s why Gillette is here. Treating these patients has been our primary focus for decades, and we’ve gotten very good at it over the years.
