The Alegent Health Joint Replacement Center has been recognized as a center of excellence and serves as an award-winning model for facilities around the world looking to establish a similar program.

The joint replacement center is a special unit of the hospital dedicated to the care of total knee and total hip replacement patients. It is a unique program where patients who come to any of the Joint Replacement Centers receive total joint replacements in an environment that emphasizes wellness, socialization and maximizes patient recovery efforts.

The Joint Replacement Center places great emphasis on patient education through videos and written materials, strong family involvement, positive reinforcement and group support of the patients.

At the Joint Replacement Center, patients who have undergone total hip or knee replacements recover from surgery as a team. They eat meals together, exercise together and do activities together.

Family members also play an important part, acting as recovery coaches and participating in patient education sessions both before and after surgery.

The Alegent Health Orthopaedic Institute has received numerous national awards for its Joint Replacement Center, including an Award for quality from Premier, Inc., a healthcare alliance that annually recognizes healthcare providers for quality, excellence and achievements in patient care.
