All patients scheduled for joint replacement surgery at Huntsville Hospital are strongly encouraged to attend our FREE Joint Camp Orientation.
Joint Camp Orientation is held on the 4th floor of the Huntsville Hospital Orthopedic & Spine Tower (200 Sivley Road). For those who prefer to complete their orientation remotely, we offer a conference call option.
Classes are taught by nurses and clinical staff and cover many important topics, including:
- Patient and caregiver (coach) role in the program
- Therapy exercises to start prior to surgery
- Routine and activities during your hospital stay
- Anesthesia options for surgery
- Therapy options after leaving the hospital (home is the best place to return after surgery)
- Equipment and/or supplies to assist with recovery
- Details about life after joint replacement
- Information on medications, clothing and special needs
- Getting to know other patients going through Joint Camp
