Brain Injury Treatment

If your child has a mild brain injury, they can typically be managed as an outpatient through Gillette’s Neurotrauma Clinic. If your child has a moderate to severe injury, Gillette provides full inpatient rehabilitation services. Our CARF-accredited brain injury program provides individualized patient- and caregiver-centered care through a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach that includes creating a progressive treatment plan that assists patients in achieving optimal functional outcomes, as well as structured education and discharge planning that assists patients in their return to home, school and community.  

We also partner with Regions Hospital to provide Minnesota’s first Level I Pediatric Trauma Center.
