Adult Orthopedic / Musculoskeletal Program - Inpatient

This inpatient program provides treatment for adults after bone and joint (orthopedic) surgery, or those who have suffered an orthopedic injury or multiple trauma.

This program lets patients stay in the hospital for their rehabilitation, usually for three to four weeks. They learn about their bone or joint issue and how it might affect their life. The program helps patients regain balance, strength, function, and independence. Clients, families, and healthcare providers can access information and support services.
