Patient Focus
As a patient, you deserve the highest quality physicians working with the finest hospital and patient care team – all focused on achieving the best outcome.
Thompson Health offers its patients unique ways to stay healthy and informed prior to surgery.
Patient Education
Total Joint Replacement Education Program is now Virtual
Traditionally held in person at the hospital once a month, Thompson Health’s monthly Total Joint Replacement Group Education Program is now available online. The free program addresses questions about preparing for this elective surgery, covering topics such as getting your home ready, beginning an exercise program and more. Nancy Buerman, clinical coordinator of physical therapy at Thompson Health, facilitates this program, which now involves a video presentation. To sign up, call her at (585) 396-6050.
Educational presentations and guides have been developed to assist those patients who will undergo total knee or total hip replacement surgery. These materials will give you an overview of what to expect during your joint replacement journey. Rest assured, however, that Thompson Health professionals will be there to guide you through the process step by step.
Pre-Hab Therapy
Our Rehabilitation Services department offers a unique program to patients who will undergo total joint replacement surgery-“Pre-hab” in our therapeutic pool at F.F. Thompson Hospital. This “pre-hab” program helps patients maximize their range of motion and strength to help ensure an optimal outcome.
