Kudos to Paralympian Chuck Aoki – who took home a silver medal in rugby. With four Paralympic medals to his name - three silver and one bronze - Aoki is now the most decorated wheelchair rugby player in U.S. history. Way to go! Chuck is a Minnesotan and former Gillette patient. He stopped by our St. Paul Campus to connect with patients during a break from training last summer. Check out a few highlights from his visit!

Together, we did it! A huge thank you to all Walmart customers and Sam's Club members for raising an incredible $649,000 for Gillette Children's through the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals campaign! Your generosity truly amazes us and will make a world of difference in helping Gillette patients write their own stories! #SparkGood #ChangeKidsHealth

Kaitlin Lewis, a therapeutic recreation specialist, says the Paralympics are a great opportunity to demonstrate that people of all abilities are capable of anything. Watching Paralympic athletes try their best and achieve their goals is inspirational and prompts some of us to dream of our own gold medal moment. These moments of victory are especially motivating for children and can be a spark to try a new physical activity.

We are so excited to cheer for our Paralympic athletes to compete in Paris! The competition kicks off today and runs through Sept. 8. Thirteen Minnesota athletes are competing in the games and many of them have some type of Gillette affiliation as a former or current patient. Who knows? A future Paralympian could be getting treatment at Gillette Children's right now. Organizers of the Paralympic Games say the event is a way to draw attention to the 15 percent of the global population who are living with a disability.

Riley wanted to give back to Gillette after 14 years of being a patient. He recently completed a project to earn his Eagle Scout badge by creating easels for our patients! “I feel that Gillette has helped him grow into a great young gentleman,” his mother said. “He truly loves giving back to his Gillette family.” Way to go, Riley!!!

Hope all the Minnesotans out there are enjoying the State Fair this year! Gillette made a special appearance at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Outdoor Stage. Experts from our Orthotics, Prosthetics and Seating team demonstrated how we help our patients become active in sports and other outdoor activities. We even called up volunteers from the audience to test out a prosthetic device as part of the fun!

Special thanks to the Bell Museum for bringing its Traveling Planetarium “ExploraDome” to a hospital (Gillette!) for the first time during the last week of Camp Gillette, powered by Dairy Queen! Patients and families were treated to several interactive showings of constellations, planets and the night sky. Other fun activities included a green screen for space themed portraits, a visit from the St. Paul Saints Baseball mascot Mudonna and treats provided by DQ. What a day! Thanks for the memories!
