If you are considering knee or hip replacement or if you are scheduled for the procedure, attend this free pre-operative class to meet your caregivers, see our facility and learn what to expect before, during and after surgery. You will hear about how to prepare for surgery, your hospital stay and hospital services, and planning for a safe and successful recovery. If you are scheduled for joint replacement surgery, attend this class approximately four weeks prior to surgery. Those considering joint replacement are welcome anytime. Your joint surgery "coach", who will support you through the process, is encouraged to attend. The class is offered on two Mondays each month. For more information about this class, you may contact Jackie Beecher (301-754-7771, beechj@holycrosshealth.org) or Marthal Samuel (301-754-7770, samuemar@holycrosshealth.org)
