Team specialists offer a wide range of both outpatient and inpatient services. The system is also participating in a Medicare initiative called the comprehensive care for joint replacements model, which aims to promote quality care and financial accountability. The clinic has recently undergone an expansion to offer an in-house physical therapy space.”
