The Gillette Children’s Healthcare Series is a collection of nine books focused on childhood-acquired physical and neurological conditions. Each book provides a detailed medical explanation of a specific condition, its evidence-based best-practice treatments, and includes the lived experience of families.
The series emphasizes the importance of collaboration between professionals and families, with both parties contributing their expertise. For each book in the series, medical professionals at Gillette Children’s have led the writing, and families have contributed the lived experience.
The goal of the series is to empower families through a greater understanding of their condition and therefore help optimize outcomes for children, adolescents and adults living with these childhood-acquired and largely lifelong conditions. Healthcare professionals, researchers, educators, students, and others will also benefit from reading books in this series.
The Gillette Children’s Healthcare Series is co-published with Gillette Children’s Healthcare Press and it seeks to deepen understanding of complex medical conditions that are treated at Gillette Children’s.
