Meeting your needs
Before your surgery occurs, you’ll meet with St. Luke’s nurses and attend an in-depth joint-replacement class. After surgery, our pain management program will get you up and moving later the same day. This results in an average length of stay of only 2.5 days. We control pain better so you’re ready to go home sooner.
Physical and occupational therapists work with you one-on-one to help you recover quickly and continue recovering well at home. St. Luke’s post-surgery therapy has received recognition from CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities).
