Ways to Give
Gillette Children’s has been a trusted and pioneering source of care for children with complex medical conditions since 1897. Families from across the globe come to Gillette - often following years of searching for the right care-for treatment for their children’s brain, bone and movement conditions. We bring our knowledge and curiosity to develop individualized care plans for each patient, helping them explore new possibilities and live a life beyond their diagnosis.
Why Support Us?
As a non-profit hospital, donor support is an essential part of our mission to ensure every patient who enters our door has access to the same high level of expert care, regardless of their ability to pay. With your help, Gillette is opening minds to new possibilities for every child in our care.

Our new technique for craniosynostosis repair keeps patients from needing blood transfusions during surgery. The Gillette OrthoCleft® retainer—a presurgical orthodontic appliance—results in better outcomes in children born with cleft lip and palate.

Gillette conducts research in medical issues. In our James R. Gage Center for Gait and Motion Analysis, we’re conducting an ongoing study to measure how interventions patients received as children have affected them as adults. The results could influence the care of children throughout the world who have gait difficulties.
Gillette played a key role in the clinical trials and breakthrough research for the development of Spinraza™ (nusinersen) a drug to treat spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The drug was recently approved by the FDA, making it the first-ever FDA-approved therapy for SMA.

Gillette is the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital® for Minnesota and western Wisconsin. This support from Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals® allows us to offer state-of-the-art treatments and vital services for kids with the most complex needs in pediatric medicine and funds care for patients who are uninsured or underinsured. Your donations ensure that Gillette will never turn a child away because of a family’s inability to pay for treatment. Children’s Miracle Network raises funds for 170 children’s hospitals across North America. Those hospitals, in turn, use the money where it’s needed most. Donations stay in the community where they are made, ensuring that every dollar helps local kids.
In Minnesota and western Wisconsin, donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals fund life-changing care for children served by Gillette.
