What makes the Joint Replacement Center different?
- Dedicated staff - Our joint care coordinator will guide you each step of the way. And, everyone on staff is specially trained to care for joint replacement surgery patients.
- Group emphasis - Our unique approach focuses on group activities, therapy, meals and support as a cornerstone of healing and recovery.
- Coaching component - Our patients are encouraged to identify a loved one as their "coach" to support and encourage them to meet milestones during their recovery.
- Patient satisfaction - 90 percent of patients rate the overall quality of care at the Joint Replacement Center as very good or excellent. 98.5 percent of patients indicate they would recommend the program to others.
- Advanced surgical procedures - Surgeons strive to make joint replacement surgery as minimally invasive as possible.
- Pain Management Abbott Northwestern partners with anesthesiologists from Northwest Anesthesia, PA, who have implemented a pain management sytem in which pain relief is specific to your needs and begins even before the surgery starts to ensure you are as comfortable as possible at each step of your surgery. This unique option is only available at Abbott Northwestern.
- Continuous Improvements - we listen to patients and make changes based on the feedback they provide.
