Gaylord Specialty Healthcare

This Thanksgiving weekend, let’s focus on making memories—not on injuries. Don’t let x-rays be the highlight of your holiday photos. Stay safe and plan for a sober ride home. Your loved ones want you to celebrate safely! #ThanksgivingSafety #SoberRides #StaySafe #CTNotOneMore

A burst of brightness is coming our way… ??????

Last night, we had the pleasure of hosting a reception in our newly renovated Jackson Ground space to celebrate the Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) residency program. It was a great opportunity for residents, faculty, and team members from Gaylord and other sites to network and celebrate. As a multi-centered program, it was wonderful to see everyone come together. We’ve designed this residency program to provide not only essential training but also meaningful support and growth opportunities for our residents. A huge thank you to our residents for their dedication—we are incredibly proud of you all. And thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate!

Are you ready to take your career to the next level in an innovative, forward-thinking environment? At Gaylord, we’re transforming the future of physical therapy, and we want you to be part of it! If you're passionate about growth and making a meaningful impact, apply today and be a part of our supportive team.

On Injury Prevention Day, remember that impairment starts with just one drink. Don’t let the trauma bay be your last stop. Plan ahead: designate a sober driver, use rideshare services, or stay where you celebrate. Your choices matter! Let’s work together to prevent impaired driving and keep our roads safe. #InjuryPreventionDay #EndImpairedDriving #CTNotOneMore
