"The Orthopedic Center of Excellence is more than just a place. It is a philosophy of blending the talents of health care givers with the needs of patients into a system that most effectively transitions the patient from the office setting, through surgery and rehabilitation and ultimately back into the active life that everyone wants to live." Orthopedic Surgeon - Director of the Joint Program

"[MS&A] takes a huge concept and makes it achievable." - Marketing Director

"The program requires a special (and dedicated) surgeon and a special nurse coordinator to bring the Joint Center to its highest level. Also, the hospital must be supportive and commit the resources necessary to develop the program. Our surgeon took the leadership position after visiting Dr. Steele. He truly understood that this is the program of the future and that he was committed to working with the hospital. Our volume has grown more than 275% in 7 months!" - Hospital Administrator

"I am proud to be the coordinator of this great program. I have watched it quickly grow into a vital part of our facility with an exceptional cohesive team." - Orthopedic Nurse Manager

"Our joint replacement center opened in March, 2005. It is already the number one area in patient satisfaction, and we have successfully decreased our length of stay for patients with hip and knee replacements. We are now talking with MS&A about the implementation of a Spine Center." - Joint Care and Rehabilitation Director

"We've been live for two weeks. Our patients love preop class, and many nurses already want to transfer to the unit." - Orthopedics Director
