Post-Surgical Recovery
Finish the recovery your surgery started.
Surgery corrects the problem. Recovery restores the function. After a joint replacement, cardiac procedure or other operation, we pick up where discharge instructions leave off, coordinating with your surgeon and following their protocol and precautions.

Discharge is the end of the hospital stay. It is the beginning of recovery.
The goal is a full return to your prior level of function: walking without a device, climbing stairs, driving and getting back to the activities you had before surgery.
