CHRISTUS St. Patrick Hospital Center for Joint Replacement

The CHRISTUS St. Patrick Hospital Center for Joint Replacement provides consistent, predictable patient care with premier customer service and excellent patient education. The coordinated approach allows joint replacement patients to know and trust the staff who are involved in their care.

The facilities include a state-of-the-art orthopedic operating suite, a special joint care unit dedicated to knee, hip, and shoulder replacement patients, physical therapy, and a comprehensive inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation program. Additional components of the Center for Joint Replacement include education materials, classes, home instruction, daily goal setting, spiritual care, and continual positive reinforcement.

Team Approach to Care
From inpatient treatment to outpatient therapy, CHRISTUS St. Patrick’s rehabilitation team works with each patient and physician to create a personal program appropriate for every stage of recovery. Patients progress through graduated programs to increase function and mobility, regain strength and muscle tone, and build cardiovascular endurance.

Our joint care team of experienced orthopedic surgeons, specially trained nurses, therapists, chaplains, and other caregivers work together to provide you with the excellent care and quality service. As we focus on your treatment plan, we place a strong emphasis on your participation in group activities.

Because our goal is to return you to a more normal, healthy lifestyle as quickly as possible, we provide education, information and even a few pleasant surprises during your hospital stay. Before you’re even admitted, you’ll have the opportunity to tour the Center, meet your joint team, and receive special instructions and important reminders for the day of your procedure. We’ll even provide a personal notebook to help you prepare for your surgery and recovery.

We realize that no one wants to be in the hospital, so we make every effort to make your stay with us as pleasant as possible. We keep you informed of what to expect each day you are with us. To speed your recovery, the Center staff provides education and training for your spouse or caregiver so that they may assist in your recovery.

Free Seminars
The CHRISTUS St. Patrick Center for Joint Replacement offers free seminars about knee, hip, and shoulder pain. Join us, as we explain your options for staying active and pain-free. During the one-hour seminars, you can learn how weight, inactivity, occupation, or injuries can lead to discomfort, pain and eventual immobility. We also explore the complete range of treatment available, from medications, nutrition, and exercise to surgical joint replacement.
