Unit Information:

The Orthopedic unit is located on the 4th floor of TMC’s tower.  It is a 40-bed post-surgical inpatient unit. All of the rooms are private rooms with picturesque views. The majority of the patients we care for have elected to have their surgery: hip, knee, shoulder, spine, or ankle. The patients admitted to Ortho post surgically are overall healthy, motivated to recover, and progress rapidly. Elective hips and knees typically discharge next day, and spines stay with our team two to three days.
