- A totally unique and comprehensive hospital unit - The Center for Joint Replacement is staffed by a specialized team dedicated to orthopedics and joint replacement surgery.
- A quality reputation - Our entire program and care is based upon best practice. We closely monitor every aspect of care and track patient data to drive the delivery of superior quality outcomes. Our Performance Improvement Team meets monthly to review data and ensure the highest quality of care is delivered.
- Superior surgical credentials and experience - Our surgeons specialize in knee and hip replacement surgery and have documented exceptional outcomes.
- Joint Care Coordinator - Your coordinator is responsible for the supervision of every aspect of the joint replacement program. She will help educate you and oversee your care and progress from pre-testing to post-op care.
- Wellness Model - Patients are usually out of bed and walking only 1-2 hours after surgery. They wear their clothes from home, exercise together twice daily, learn and eat lunch together in a supportive group environment.
- Coaching Concept - Our patients choose a coach before surgery to be their primary caregiver. Right alongside you, they will learn every aspect of your care and exercises. Educating the coach allows them to be comfortable and confident to provide your care once you're home.
- A comprehensive manual - Our patient guidebook educates and guides you through every step of your surgery and rehabilitation.
- A consistent team approach - Your surgery and recovery take place in a collaborative, healing atmosphere that focuses on wellness and rehabilitation. Each team member coordinates your care with you and your family.
- Rehabilitation - Our physical and occupational therapy rehabilitation specialists help patients restore and improve mobility and function after surgery and start them on the road to recovery.
- A program constantly improved by our patients - Feedback provided by our patients helps shape and strengthen our program so we can continue to provide exceptional patient experiences and outcomes.
