As one of the nation’s leading treatment centers for patients who have spina bifida, and among the handful of centers in the U.S. that treat adults who have spina bifida, Gillette was invited by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to participate in the National Spina Bifida Patient Registry (NSBPR). The Registry collects information from patients to better understand the associations between medical procedures and health outcomes.
