Dads Support Group
This group's aim is to support new dads and partners in their fatherhood journey. Both facilitators are fathers themselves and are eager to share insight and listen to any concerns or triumphs that you would like to share. Even if just for some humorous camaraderie with others going through similar situations, this group hopes to meet the needs of new and experienced fathers alike. Please note: this group is not a substitution for medical advice or mental health treatment.

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. View Our Joint Replacement Videos: Pre-Surgery Through Discharge , Inpatient and Outpatient Physical Therapy , Home Care, Registration Required: Register online or by phone at 610-738-2300.

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. View Our Joint Replacement Videos: Pre-Surgery Through Discharge , Inpatient and Outpatient Physical Therapy , Home Care, Registration Required: Register online or by phone at 610-738-2300.

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. View Our Joint Replacement Videos: Pre-Surgery Through Discharge , Inpatient and Outpatient Physical Therapy , Home Care, Registration Required: Register online or by phone at 610-738-2300.

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. View Our Joint Replacement Videos: Pre-Surgery Through Discharge , Inpatient and Outpatient Physical Therapy , Home Care, Registration Required: Register online or by phone at 610-738-2300.
