Gaylord Specialty Healthcare Named a 2026 Bioness Clinic of Excellence

Wallingford Facility Recognized as the Only New England Recipient in the Inaugural Year of the National Program

SANTA CLARITA, Calif., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bioness Medical, Inc., a leading provider of advanced rehabilitation technologies, is proud to recognize Gaylord Specialty Healthcare of Wallingford, Connecticut, as a 2026 Bioness Clinic of Excellence. This honor is awarded to rehabilitation clinics that demonstrate an exceptional commitment to advancing patient outcomes through innovation and outstanding clinical education.

2026 marks the inaugural year of the Bioness Clinic of Excellence designation, in which ten outstanding clinics across the United States were selected. Gaylord Specialty Healthcare, the only New England recipient, was chosen for the way its clinicians integrate Bioness technology – including the H200 Wireless™, L300 Go®, Bioness Integrated Therapy System (BITS®), BITS® Mobile, and BITS® Balance – throughout the rehabilitation continuum to help patients work toward meaningful goals in mobility, upper extremity function, balance, vision, cognition, and postural control. Across inpatient and outpatient care, Gaylord clinicians incorporate these technologies into individualized treatment plans designed to help patients improve function, increase participation in therapy, and progress toward greater independence.

Gaylord's commitment to improving patient care extends beyond day-to-day clinical use. The organization participates in regular clinician training and refresher education to support skilled, effective technology use, hosts patient screenings and community events, and recently conducted research evaluating BITS for visual field deficits following acute neurological events in an LTACH setting.

"Gaylord Specialty Healthcare stands out not just for its advanced technologies, but for how thoughtfully they are integrated into patient care," said Alyssa Williamson, DPT, Area Sales Manager at Bioness Medical. "The team's commitment to education, innovation, and continuity of care provides more opportunities for patients to make meaningful functional progress throughout their rehabilitation journey."

"Technology is most valuable when it is thoughtfully integrated into a patient's care and tied to a meaningful functional goal," said William Neidel, DPT, Director of Inpatient Therapy at Gaylord Specialty Healthcare. "Being recognized as a Bioness Clinic of Excellence is a reflection of our team's commitment to using innovative technology in ways that support each patient's individual rehabilitation journey and their goal to greater independence."
