Choosing Your Joint Coach at Parkwest Medical Center

We encourage all of our joint replacement patients to have a Joint Coach. You will want to pick a coach who will support you throughout your experience. You will want to select a person that is patient and supportive in nature. You can have more than one coach, if needed. Your coach will help by:

• Attending your pre-surgery appointments
• Helping you prepare your home by following the preoperative checklist
• Going with you to the hospital on the day of surgery
• Work with your care team to learn how to assist you with activities of daily living
• Taking you home after your surgery
• Assisting with shopping, driving and other needs until you are released to do these on your own
• Going with you to the post-surgery and therapy appointments
