UNION HOSPITAL TOTAL JOINT REPLACEMENT PROGRAM

Union Hospital is committed to bringing you and your doctor all the services and support needed to make your total joint replacement surgery a success.

We offer the following services as part of our Total Joint Replacement Program:

• Free education seminars prior to surgery. Our total joint educators include a nurse, an occupational therapist and a physical therapist. Our educators will fully describe the surgical procedure and take you step-by-step through the entire process from registration thru after surgery. They will explain how conditioning and preparation prior to surgery can speed the recovery process.
• Following surgery, you will stay in our newly renovated orthopedic floor's Felstein Pavilion Orthopedic-Neurosugery-Urology Unit, complete with occupational and physical therapy gym space. The nursing and therapy staff are specially trained in the care of patients who have undergone total knee and hip replacement surgery.
• Comprehensive occupational and physical therapy program during your inpatient stay after your surgery.
• Assistance with discharge planning needs provided by our case managers/discharge managers.
