Joint Camp
Joint Camp is a program led by an orthopaedic nurse navigator and a member of the Physical Therapy Department. We answer all of your questions and make sure that you are fully informed about your surgery and recovery. We also begin working with you on your discharge plan and explain what to expect after you return home.
We recommend that you designate a support person to help you throughout the joint replacement process and bring this person to Joint Camp with you.
