      Our Programs at Your Service
Care Navigation
Health care should be simple. That’s why our Nurse Navigators are here to help guide you through every step of your treatment. From scheduling appointments to answering questions and so much more, they’re your allies along the way.
Pre-Surgery Classes
We offer pre-surgery classes to ensure our joint replacement and spine surgery patients receive the information they need to prepare for surgery and recovery.
Wellness Classes
We want you to not only heal, but thrive. We offer a range of classes like yoga and tai chi, courses like CPR and mindfulness, and so much more to provide inspiration and education for a life of wellness.
Outpatient Joint Replacement Program
The Outpatient Joint Replacement Program at AdventHealth is a multi-disciplinary program that allows patients to safely undergo a joint replacement surgery in an outpatient setting designed specifically for a shorter recovery period. Only patients who meet certain criteria are eligible for an outpatient joint replacement procedure. Our goal is for you to return to an active lifestyle in a quicker timeframe, getting you back to the things you love.
Robotics-Assisted Joint Replacement
The robotics-assisted technology used by our team is the newest iteration of joint replacement surgery. During surgery, the robot works in conjunction with your surgeon’s skilled hands to ensure proper positioning of the implant. The technology is so intuitive that it sends information about your knee to the robot’s hand more than 300 times per second, allowing for more surgical precision and improved outcomes.

We're here to provide you with the leading-edge, compassionate care you need to feel whole again. Thanks to our partnership with PT Solutions, you'll have access to outpatient rehabilitation clinics in more than ten convenient locations. Our healing and preventive rehabilitation services include:
