Specialized joint replacement surgery

Prior to joint replacement surgery, patients will learn about their procedure and recovery through our preoperative education class. We will also schedule a preoperative visit to the hospital where the patient will receive blood work and other testing. Surgeons may recommend preoperative exercises to prepare the joint.

Hip and knee replacement program

St. David's Georgetown Hospital, a part of the St. David's HealthCare network, participates in Medicare’s Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) program. This program promotes high-quality, cost-efficient services and better coordination of care for patients undergoing hip and knee replacement surgery.

We work closely with our physicians and post-acute care providers to improve quality of care and coordinate care from the initial hospitalization through recovery.
