Joint Works Patient Education Class
Pre-surgical education helps you and your family understand the process of joint replacement, from surgery to rehabilitation and recovery. Participating in education before surgery supports the best possible outcome for your joint replacement surgery. It also provides the opportunity to set up essential services and needs that are important in your recovery (i.e., care management screening, durable medical equipment, pre-surgery rehabilitation, home health care, or outpatient rehabilitation services).
You are required to complete one in-person class 1-2 months prior to your scheduled surgery:
- Attend an in-person education class - View the latest schedule.
Interpreting Services are provided at no additional cost to you. Please contact the Joint Works Program Coordinator if you prefer to set up a session with Interpreting Services.
During your education session, we will discuss:
■ Guide to Surgery at Frederick Health folder
■ The Joint Works Program pre-surgery education packet
■ Surgery materials provided by your surgeon’s team
■ Your support team
■ Any questions about your planned surgery
