Sauk Prairie Healthcare’s Joint Health Center was thoughtfully designed
to give you the best experience throughout your joint replacement surgery
and recovery. The reputation of our joint replacement center is built
on everything that happens before, during and after your surgery.
Before Joint Replacement Surgery
Preparation, education, continuity of care and a pre-planned discharge
are essential for your optimum results. Every detail, from pre-operative
teaching to post-operative exercising, is considered and reviewed with
you. Our Orthopedics Nurse Navigator will be a resource for you, assisting
by coordinating all pre-operative care and discharge planning.
The Day of Your Joint Replacement Surgery
You’ll know just what to expect when it’s surgery day because
we will have prepared you ahead of time and you will already have met
your care team. After you’ve been prepped for surgery, your family
can pass the waiting time by visiting our Café, coffee shop, meditation
room or relaxing by the fireplace. Anywhere they go inside our hospital,
they’ll be comforted by wide open views to the beautiful scenery
that surrounds our hospital. Our Café offers fresh, nutritious
food from local farms and producers. And if the weather is nice, lunch
on the Café patio or a walk on our walking trails is a relaxing
way to spend the time.
After Your Joint Replacement Surgery
After your
joint replacement surgery, you will stay in a spacious, private room in an area of our hospital
dedicated to the care of joint replacement patients. We offer a comfortable,
healing environment where patients can focus on getting back on their
feet. Each room is large enough to accommodate visitors and features a
large window with beautiful views of nature and access to natural light.
At Sauk Prairie Healthcare, our Joint Health Center takes a unique team
approach to help reduce your joint pain and improve your quality of life.
We incorporate family involvement and group support to encourage patients
and keep them motivated during their recovery.
