Several months ago, the Orthopaedic & Fracture Clinic and Immanual St. Joseph's Hospital entered into a cooperative program to enhance the experience of total joint patients as well as improve their outcomes. The result of this effort is the Regional Total Joint Center.
It Represents A New Approach to Joint Replacement Surgery
- Comprehensive education
- Outstanding, holistic approach
- Family coaching tools
- Ongoing communications after discharge
- Group therapy and meals
At the new Regional Total Joint Center a team of health care providers consisting of surgeons, physical therapists and professional nursing staff support patients from their first appointment throught the last step of recovery.
By taking advantage of positive group dynamics, knee and hip replacement patients feel accountable to not only themselves but also to one another. Drawing strength from the group environment, patients experience an improved response to treatment with faster recovery times.
Patient benefits at the Regional Total Joint Center are unsurpassed by any other program in the region.
