Celebrate Smart Summer Safety

The Fourth of July and other summer celebrations are a time for enjoyment, making memories and being aware of summer safety tips. Now that the CDC has approved COVID-19 vaccines for children who are age six months and older, millions of young children are now eligible to be vaccinated. That brings a bit more freedom for celebrating compared to the safety precautions from last summer. The physicians at Gillette Children's and Regions Hospital remind you that preparation is the key to keeping safe.

How Our Baby Helmets Are Custom Made for Your Infant’s Flat Head Syndrome

Deformational plagiocephaly, better known as "flat head", is a condition where a baby’s head has an uneven or irregular shape.

Gillette knows and understands just how important it is to help combat this condition and aims to treat it as soon as possible. This is why we became the first to create an orthosis approved by the FDA, known as the CranioCap or “baby helmet”.
