Dear Patient,

Thank you for choosing Western Reserve Hospital (WRH). Our goal is to provide you with expert care, a safe experience and to prepare you for your return home.

This information will guide you through your joint replacement. We have included details about preparing your home, what to expect from pre-surgical testing through discharge and even what to expect at home after your surgery.

You can expect to stay with us for 1-2 days after your surgery. While with us, we ask that you work with your team of healthcare professionals to make your stay as comfortable and safe as possible. You will see your surgical team on a daily basis and work with the nursing staff, physical therapists and occupational therapists.

In turn, you should expect compassion and respect from all of our staff at WRH. We will do everything possible to provide the services to meet your needs and increase your comfort. If you feel that we are not meeting your needs, please notify us immediately. We are all here to help you with your recovery and help prepare you for your transition home.

Again, thank you for selecting us; we are privileged to have you as one of our patients.
