Take it from Agustin, whose advocacy helped create an amazing inclusive play space in his neighborhood. Read more of Agustin's story at gillette.mn/agustin. Is inclusive play imporant to you, too?

Earlier this year, 16-year-old Hana discovered she needed brain surgery. "You never know when you might need a brain surgery," she recounts in this eloquent poem she wrote at Gillette Children's a month after surgery. Hana shares her fears and her recovery. "You never know when your next accomplishment is going to be. You will find it, exactly like you rediscovered yourself." #LiveYourStory

Kylen has always loved baseball, but he was having trouble finding a batting helmet that fit him properly. His mother Kelly eventually contacted our Orthotics, Prosthetics and Seating Department and talked to provider Nick Anderson. After getting Kylen’s head measurements, Anderson was able to custom modify a Rawlings baseball helmet with carbon 3D printed foam padding. It now fits Kylen like a glove! The North Dakota resident can’t wait to hit the baseball diamond!
