Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare is a non-profit hospital located in St. Paul. Its focus is pediatric medical treatment and research. It was founded by Dr. Arthur Gillette and Jessie Haskins in 1897, taking on Arthur Gillette's name as the hospitals first chief surgeon, an appointment given by the regents of the University of Minnesota.
Originally it was situated in a ward inside City and County Hospital of St. Paul, Minnesota but in 1911 it outgrew that limited space and moved into its own facilities in Phalen Park. In the 1977 it moved again, this time to space in Regions Hospital in St. Paul. Currently it operates a system of clinics around the state, including Minnetonka, Burnsville, New Brighton and northern Minnesota.
