Gillette's Commitment to HCT
Gillette is committed to helping youth and their families transition to adult health care systems. We understand that leaving providers you’ve seen since infancy or childhood can be scary. As your teen transitions into adulthood, our goal is to help find age-appropriate care with providers who understand the complexity of treating adults with childhood-onset disabilities.
The primary mission of Gillette Children’s is providing pediatric specialty care for brain, bone and movement conditions that began during childhood. Many of these conditions lead to age-related effects. Gillette’s Adult Services provides specialty care that can manage the age-related effects of cerebral palsy, spina bifida, neuromuscular conditions and other brain, bone, and movement conditions that began during childhood. For more information, visit our Adult Services page.

Transition Service Coordination for Youth with Epilepsy
The transition from child to adult serving systems can be a challenging process for youth with special health care needs. This process is often more challenging for youth with autism and epilepsy who may have complex health and social needs. This project aims to connect the different services that help youth during the transition period, like health care, education, jobs, and independent living.
