Joint Replacement Center

United Hospital’s Joint Replacement Center offers a welcoming, healing environment and a unique approach to care. Our goal is to help patients return to their normal activities as soon as possible.

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 recovery.

Advanced surgical procedures: Surgeons strive to make joint replacement surgery as minimally invasive as possible.

Continuous improvements: We listen to patients and make changes based on the feedback you provide.
