Our mission is to preserve and enhance a person’s health and function.

Gaylord Hospital is a long-term acute care hospital that specializes in the care and treatment of medically complex patients, rehabilitation and sleep medicine. Long-term acute care (LTAC) is a recognized designation by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for acute care hospitals whose average length of stay is at least 25 days. LTAC hospitals provide specialized care services to manage medical conditions, so that patients with catastrophic or acute illnesses and injuries can work toward recovery.

As an LTAC, Gaylord Hospital is staffed and equipped to handle the specific needs of acutely ill or chronically disabled patients who require a hospital level of care. Gaylord Hospital also is able to treat those who need rehabilitation for illnesses or injuries related to the brain and nervous system, bones and joints, lungs, and other conditions. This way, we can continue to meet our patients' needs through every stage of their recovery.

Licensed as a 109-bed chronic disease hospital, Gaylord is located on 500 acres of countryside in Wallingford, Connecticut.

We have come a long way since our beginning in 1902 as a tuberculosis sanatorium consisting of six buildings and six patients. Today Gaylord consists of 14 buildings, admits more than 1,000 inpatients each year and offers over 50 outpatient services.
