Joint Camp
The Total Joint Center's comprehensive program includes an educational component called Joint Camp. Studies have shown that the more knowledgeable total joint replacement patients are about their upcoming surgery, the more successful their rehabilitation process will be.

Preadmission Testing
You will have a Preadmission Testing (PAT) appointment in the morning that will provide your surgeon, anesthesiologist and nurses with information about your health prior to surgery. During your PAT appointment, you will have:
- Blood drawn for laboratory analysis
- A urine test
- A nasal swab to check for the presence of a bacteria which some people carry in their noses or on their skin
- An electrocardiogram (EKG) and/or a chest x-ray if needed
Please bring your insurance card, prescription card and all medications you take to your PAT appointment.
Directions
PAT is located on Level 2 of the Medical Center.
- From the parking lot in front of the Medical Center, please enter at the Admissions Entrance.
- Take the elevator to Level 2, where you will find the Surgical Services registration area.
Please let us know in advance if we will need to meet you at an entrance with a wheelchair.
