**Our preoperative joint replacement classes are currently on hold**
We are committed to ensuring you have the information you need for a successful joint replacement.
Please contact the total joint replacement manager, Donna Fogelson at 239-624-3998 or email as soon as your surgery is scheduled.
All patients scheduled for hip or knee replacement are expected to attend our two hour pre-operative class. This class is an opportunity to discuss topics related to preparing for surgery, your hospital stay, discharge planning and physical therapy progression. You will leave with your questions answered and less anxiety about the process.
You should register for this class as soon as your surgery date is confirmed.
Registration is required as space is limited. Class may be cancelled for low enrollment.
If you have any questions about the pre-operative class or are considering hip or knee replacement, please contact our total joint replacement manager, Donna Fogelson at 239-624-3998 or by email. She will be happy to speak with you!
