Joint Center

Riverview Hospital introduces a new concept in Joint Replacement.
Riverview Hospital and Wisconsin River Orthopaedics are collaborating on the Central Wisconsin Joint Center at Riverview Hospital.  When you choose to have joint replacement surgery to improve your quality of life, you want those results as quickly as possible.  This new philosophy gives you a head start, before you even have your surgery, for a more rapid recovery and return to that quality of life. Our team of outstanding Wisconsin River Orthopaedic Institute surgeons, Riverview Hospital Therapy, and Nursing staff are specially trained in this new exciting concept and focus their efforts on a successful joint replacement experience.

What is the Central Wisconsin Joint Center at Riverview Hospital?
We have designated some of our brand new state-of-the-art inpatient rooms just for the patients of the Joint Center.  When you have a joint replacement with one of the surgeons from Wisconsin River Orthopaedics, the entire Joint Center team realizes you’re not here because you’re ill, it’s because you want to get better.  We’re home to the Wisconsin River Journey to Improved Activity   

• We emphasize wellness, patient satisfaction, and getting you home faster. 
• We contact you after surgery to see how you’re doing and to get your feedback.
• You’ll be our guest at a reunion luncheon with other patients so you can share your experiences. 

Quicker Recovery
The entire Joint Center approach is a culture unlike any other in Central Wisconsin

• Your preparation begins weeks before your surgery to speed up your recovery.
• You will bring a loved one with you to be a coach (or we can provide one if necessary)
• Experience fun group activities and therapy to aid in your recovery.
• Positive group dynamics.
• Early mobility is extremely helpful in quick recovery.
