Spine Surgery
For patients having any kind of total joint replacement surgery, Joint Effort Education is designed to help you feel more prepared and more confident about what to expect before and during your hospital stay as well as once you are back at home. Joint Effort Education will introduce you to your care team (nurses, case managers, therapists and others) and help clarify expectations from pre-procedure through recovery. You will also receive an informational packet for your scheduled surgery.
