Gaylord Hospital
Vapotherm Center of Excellence
Gaylord Hospital is a 137 bed Long Term Care Hospital (LTCH) located in Wallingford, CT. Founded as a tuberculosis sanatorium in 1902, Gaylord has become one of the premier New England long-term care facilities for the treatment and rehabilitation of medically complex patients. The information, data, and testimonials presented on this page derive from the experience of Gaylord.
In 2014, Vapotherm designated Gaylord Hospital as its first Center of Excellence. Gaylord is a pioneer in the use of heated humidification to improve patient outcomes.
Although individual results may vary, Vapotherm believes Gaylord Hospital’s story represents a powerful example of the impact Vapotherm’s humidification can have in an LTACH setting.

The improved patient outcomes corresponded with improved hospital efficiencies and financial results, including exceeding the organization’s financial goals. The stats to the right are outcomes that were illustrated in a poster from the 2017 National Association of Long Term Hospitals Annual Meeting. Click here to download a copy of the poster.
