Pre-Surgery Joint Replacement Education Class

THIS IS A VIRTUAL, ONLINE PRESENTATION!
Wednesday, May 20, 2026, 4 – 5pm

Facing a knee or hip replacement can be a daunting task that many would like to put off, sometimes indefinitely. But we have found that the more our patients know about the preparation for surgery, hospitalization and recovery, the more comfortable they are about the procedure. And their outcomes are usually better, too. Therefore, we assembled a team of experts who have thoughtfully created services, educational materials and special amenities to make the joint replacement procedure as smooth as possible. Often our patients' only regret is that they didn't have the procedure sooner.

This class is held the first Wednesday of each month at 12 noon and third Wednesday of each month at 4PM.

Pre-Surgery Joint Replacement Education Class

THIS IS A VIRTUAL, ONLINE PRESENTATION!
Wednesday, June 17, 2026, 4 – 5pm

Facing a knee or hip replacement can be a daunting task that many would like to put off, sometimes indefinitely. But we have found that the more our patients know about the preparation for surgery, hospitalization and recovery, the more comfortable they are about the procedure. And their outcomes are usually better, too. Therefore, we assembled a team of experts who have thoughtfully created services, educational materials and special amenities to make the joint replacement procedure as smooth as possible. Often our patients' only regret is that they didn't have the procedure sooner.

This class is held the first Wednesday of each month at 12 noon and third Wednesday of each month at 4PM.

Pre-Surgery Joint Replacement Education Class

THIS IS A VIRTUAL, ONLINE PRESENTATION!
Wednesday, July 1, 2026, 12 – 1pm

Facing a knee or hip replacement can be a daunting task that many would like to put off, sometimes indefinitely. But we have found that the more our patients know about the preparation for surgery, hospitalization and recovery, the more comfortable they are about the procedure. And their outcomes are usually better, too. Therefore, we assembled a team of experts who have thoughtfully created services, educational materials and special amenities to make the joint replacement procedure as smooth as possible. Often our patients' only regret is that they didn't have the procedure sooner.

This class is held the first Wednesday of each month at 12 noon and third Wednesday of each month at 4PM.

Pre-Surgery Joint Replacement Education Class

THIS IS A VIRTUAL, ONLINE PRESENTATION!
Wednesday, August 5, 2026, 12 – 1pm

Facing a knee or hip replacement can be a daunting task that many would like to put off, sometimes indefinitely. But we have found that the more our patients know about the preparation for surgery, hospitalization and recovery, the more comfortable they are about the procedure. And their outcomes are usually better, too. Therefore, we assembled a team of experts who have thoughtfully created services, educational materials and special amenities to make the joint replacement procedure as smooth as possible. Often our patients' only regret is that they didn't have the procedure sooner.

This class is held the first Wednesday of each month at 12 noon and third Wednesday of each month at 4PM.

Comfort and Relaxation for Birth

THIS IS A VIRTUAL, ONLINE PRESENTATION!
Thursday, August 13, 2026, 6 – 9pm

For expecting mothers and their support person. This class will explore the mind-body connection, discuss beliefs about birth, and address fears and concerns surrounding birth and/or parenting in order to help prepare parents for the birth they desire. We will practice breathing and relaxation techniques which both lead to optimal relaxation during contractions and reduce the fear-tension-pain cycle. The class will also review comfort techniques and practice positions that promote comfort and help labor to progress. The class is interactive and hands-on, so clients will need to dress comfortably and bring a pillow, birth/exercise ball (if they have one), and bottle of water to class.

First time parents are recommended to take the Prepared Childbirth One-Day Class or Four-Week Series or Online Class in addition to this class for all of the basic labor and delivery information.

Pre-Surgery Joint Replacement Education Class

THIS IS A VIRTUAL, ONLINE PRESENTATION!
Wednesday, August 19, 2026, 4 – 5pm

Facing a knee or hip replacement can be a daunting task that many would like to put off, sometimes indefinitely. But we have found that the more our patients know about the preparation for surgery, hospitalization and recovery, the more comfortable they are about the procedure. And their outcomes are usually better, too. Therefore, we assembled a team of experts who have thoughtfully created services, educational materials and special amenities to make the joint replacement procedure as smooth as possible. Often our patients' only regret is that they didn't have the procedure sooner.

This class is held the first Wednesday of each month at 12 noon and third Wednesday of each month at 4PM.

Pre-Surgery Joint Replacement Education Class

THIS IS A VIRTUAL, ONLINE PRESENTATION!
Wednesday, October 7, 2026, 12 – 1pm

Facing a knee or hip replacement can be a daunting task that many would like to put off, sometimes indefinitely. But we have found that the more our patients know about the preparation for surgery, hospitalization and recovery, the more comfortable they are about the procedure. And their outcomes are usually better, too. Therefore, we assembled a team of experts who have thoughtfully created services, educational materials and special amenities to make the joint replacement procedure as smooth as possible. Often our patients' only regret is that they didn't have the procedure sooner.

This class is held the first Wednesday of each month at 12 noon and third Wednesday of each month at 4PM.
