Come join us on Saturday, October 2 for the First Annual Tri-Cities Arthritis Walk at Howard Amon Park in Richland. The event features one-mile and three-mile courses along with athritis information, health and vendor booth, music and activities for the whole family. For more information, contact our Joint Care Coordinator, Nikki Schrom at 509.586.5674 or contact the Arthritis Foundation at 206.547.2707. See you there! The Decision... There may come a time when knee or hip pain may reduce the quality of your life. Everyday activities, such as walking, shopping, or housework can become difficult or unbearable. Taking part in favorite hobbies such as golf or bowling may be a thing of the past because conservative measures like diet, exercise and medications no longer provide relief or alleviate your pain. If this is you, it may be time to consider joint replacement. Our Comprehensive Approach We have created a special program that brings together a team of experienced and expert surgeons with caring and specially trained nurses, therapists and technicians. Our goal is to provide seamless, coordinated care, and get you back to your favorite activities as soon as possible. Dedicated Place, Dedicated People Within our hospital, we have created a special area just for the care of our knee and hip replacement patients. No hospital gowns for this crowd – you get to wear your own clothes! And family members are encouraged to participate in group activities, meals and other special events. Exercise and physical therapy is also provided in a group setting, so that our patients can support and encourage each other on the road to recovery. New friendships are made enhancing the healing process. Our staff has been hand-selected for their positive attitudes, motivational skills, and their desire to provide outstanding service. In addition, they have been specially trained to provide comprehensive clinical care for patients undergoing this important procedure. Superior Education We believe the key to better outcomes is a commitment to superior education for you and your family. Knowing what to expect each step of the way goes a long way to reducing stress and anxiety and preparing you for as smooth a recovery as possible. Our comprehensive approach includes:  Engaging community outreach seminarsAn informative pre-operation class for patients and familyA patient guidebookDaily newsletters while in the hospitalEducational wall displays answering the most frequently asked questionsOur Commitment to Excellence and to You We are continuously evaluating and measuring our performance to ensure that we provide the highest quality program possible, tailored to each and every patient. Our team meets regularly with a focus on maintaining clinical and service excellence in all aspects of your joint replacement experience.

We have planned a number of nice, special surprises for you to lift your spirits as you speed your way to a more active lifestyle. If You Have Questions About Knee or Hip Pain...
