The Gaylord Specialty Healthcare System

Gaylord Specialty Healthcare is a rehabilitation-focused, nonprofit health system that provides inpatient and outpatient care for people at every point in their journey from illness or injury to maximum recovery. Gaylord Specialty Healthcare includes Gaylord Hospital as well as Outpatient Services and Physical Therapy facilities for patients who require diagnosis and treatment on an outpatient basis.

Together, these entities deliver a complete continuum of rehab care driven by technology, research, clinical experience, and human compassion. Physicians throughout the region and the nation refer patients to us with confidence.

Outpatient Services Status During COVID-19

As the State of Connecticut continues to see a rise in COVID-19 positive cases, Gaylord remains vigilant with infection prevention and is adhering to all CDC guidelines to ensure patients can feel safe and continue to receive the therapeutic care they need. We continue to make safe clinical decisions based on symptoms, travel, or exposure, and will modify patient appointments as necessary. Our experienced and compassionate clinicians are committed to keeping patients connected through in-person or via telehealth visits. With safety as our highest priority, we continue to implement the following:

• Treatment and waiting areas have been spaced 6 feet apart.
• All patients and staff are required to wear masks.
• Everyone entering our facilities  will be screened for temperature and COVID symptoms.
• Our staff is cleaning equipment and surfaces following infection prevention guidelines.
• ​We offer telehealth as another option for patient care.
