Camp Mercy
Our Camp Mercy Joint Replacement Program is a comprehensive approach to total joint replacement. In the weeks just prior to surgery, patients attend the Camp Mercy orientation class and receive extensive instructions in preparation for their surgery as well an important pre-habilitation exercise routine. Armed with this knowledge and a can-do attitude, our patients and their coaches arrive ready to work and play hard on the road to recovery.
