Presbyterian Orthopaedic Hospital has a full suite of orthopaedics-centered services. The hospital is nationally certified in its joint and spine programs and has earned a national ranking for its surgical measures.
Presbyterian Orthopaedic Hospital offers the following services, among others:
The hospital has four key units for providing care after surgery: orthopaedic spine unit specializing in caring for patients after surgery of the spine; the multi-specialty unit, offering care for things such as hand and wrist injuries, shoulder injuries and diabetic complications of the feet and legs; the total joint unit, an acute care unit specializing in care for patients who have had total joint replacement surgery; and the transitional care unit, serving patients in need of additional skilled nursing care.
