32:17Now PlayingGillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare marked its 120 anniversary with a celebration day at the State Capitol on Tuesday, April 25. In 1897, the Minnesota Legislature helped establish the nation’s first hospital specializing in care for children facing complex medical conditions.
According to Dennis Jolley, Vice President of Institutional Advancement, each year Gillette services over 25,000 patients, mainly children who face complex, rare or traumatic neurological or muscular skeletal conditions. Jolley said, "It was very forward thinking in 1897 to say, 'we can help these children and include them in public life and community.'"
Today, Jolley emphasized, Gillette is independent of the state, but benefits from legislative funding of the Medical Assistance Program. "A significant number of our children qualify for Medical Assistance because of their disability," he explained, adding that it benefits not only Gillette, but all children's hospitals.
