Together, we guide and support everyone on the path to better bone and joint health and overall well-being through our clinical programs.

We make an impact by identifying and reducing disparities while we inspire and equip as many people and communities as possible to transform healthcare in their own neighborhood.

We collaboratively design person-centered programs by building teams with tools rooted in what really matters to people and communities.

We build networks of informed decision-makers by educating patients, providers, and communities about their bone and joint health and provide pathways for their journey to wellness.

SUPPORTING PATIENTS AND FAMILIES ON THE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS

What is the Bone and Joint Center?

When it comes to improving the lives of those suffering from joint and bone pain, the Bone and Joint Center takes an approach that makes a difference: putting what matters to patients at the center of health care.

Many women and men with hip, knee, and other joint pain never pursue treatment due to fears and anxiety about surgery, but the Bone and Joint Center’s approach makes our patients feel more cared for and comfortable. We understand that how you’re cared for greatly affects how you heal. By using this inclusive approach to care, we treat the whole person, to impact recovery in a positive way. Exceptional care by an experienced and committed staff, and physical surroundings designed to support a healing environment, help to ensure that each patient feels supported, cared for, and understood.
