A dining area on the unit provides a nice setting for patients and their families to share a meal together.

Patient Care

The Sts. Mary & Elizabeth Orthopaedic Program provides an innovative approach to patient care including pre-operative patient education classes and music therapy.

Through the pre-operative patient education program, classes are held each week providing patients the opportunity to learn more about their procedure and decrease their anxiety prior to surgery.

Music therapy is offered in the holding area prior to surgery and throughout the patient’s stay. Music therapy provides a decreased focus on pain and an increased satisfaction level.
