St. Vincent Hospital has rolled out its new Orthopedic Center in partnership with Prevea Health and Green Bay Orthopedics LTD. Patients who need hip or knee repair and replacement will find a pampering environment with a focus on wellness in the newly dedicated Orthopedic Center. Among the medical and personal amenities:

• Orthopedic-equipped surgery suites staffed by teams of orthopedic experienced surgery techs and nurses. This new “ortho team” approach provides optimum efficiency to orthopedic surgeons and the highest quality care to patients.
• A dedicated inpatient orthopedic unit with orthopedic nurses specially trained in orthopedic care.
• Physical therapists and occupational therapists specializing in orthopedic care staff the unit's own private orthopedic gym.
• A distinguishing factor of this program is the Joint Coordinator who functions as care concierge to patients and their families throughout the entire hospital visit. The Joint Coordinator is the integral communicator between the patient, family, physician, nurses and case manager.
• “Joint Boot Camp” offers pre-surgery education to the patient and the patient's "Coach". The goal of Boot Camp is to ensure all aspects of the joint replacement and hospital stay are thoroughly understood prior to the day of surgery. The anesthesiologists offer patients the option of femoral nerve blocks to reduce post-operative pain.
