Free Pre-Surgery Joint Replacement Classes at Intermountain Health
It’s natural to have questions and concerns before you have a joint replacement surgery. That’s why Intermountain Health offers a FREE class where you will learn important concepts and tips to make your surgery and recovery as smooth as possible. Classes are taught by nurses that are specialized in joint replacement surgery.
This class focuses on what you need to know about:
- Preparing for your surgery
- What to expect during your hospital stay
- What is involved in the surgery
- Preventing complications
- Managing pain
- Physical therapy expectations
- Planning for a safe recovery at home
Patients that are scheduled to have a joint replacement surgery are strongly encouraged to attend this class with their caregiver that will be helping them at home following surgery.
Please bring a pen or pencil to take notes, and the educational booklet "Your Guide to Joint Replacement" (you may have received this from your surgeon's office).
Class length is about an hour.
You only need to register for one class session at the hospital where your surgery is scheduled.
