Gaylord Specialty Healthcare

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

Over the weekend, Jillian Cacopardo, MPT, ATP/SMS, our Clinical Program Coordinator for Wheelchair Assessment Services, led an engaging and informative session on Wheelchair Seating and Mobility for Physical Therapists. Participants had the opportunity to explore various wheelchair styles, cushion and backrest options, and gain hands-on experience in customizing seating solutions for wheelchair users. Thank you to Jillian for sharing her expertise, and to all who attended and contributed to making this learning experience so valuable!

Honoring all who have served our country. Your courage, dedication, and sacrifice inspire us every day ??
