The Joint Academy


The Joint Academy of St. Mary Medical Center

Knee, hip or shoulder surgery can make a real difference in your overall outlook, comfort and well-being, leading to a better quality of living. Where you choose to have this important surgery can also make a difference.

From hip surgery to knee replacement, St. Mary Medical Center has received some of the highest marks in the country for joint care provided to our patients. St. Mary Medical Center is a recipient of HealthGrades® top rating - five-stars - for overall joint replacements two years in a row, 2007 and 2008. HealthGrades is an independent ratings organization focused on healthcare quality. And, HealthGrades also ranks St. Mary Medical Center among the top 5 percent of hospitals nationwide for patient safety for the past four consecutive years.

As an extension of this excellence in joint care, St. Mary Medical Center has added The Joint Academy to its orthopedic services. The program encompasses patient education prior to surgery, inpatient group therapy, followed by readiness for recovery at home.

Patients and their families can take comfort in knowing that at every step our healthcare team will work with you to achieve the best possible experience. We involve family members as "coaches" keeping them informed so they can better guide and motivate their loved one. Our patients and families benefit from this highly supportive environment where they can meet others facing similar challenges.
