Tanner Health System staff members are dedicated to improving the outcomes of each patient and returning them to an active lifestyle.
Tanner's goals for all patients include:
- Quick recovery time from surgery
- Fast return to home and to normal activities
- Pain Management
Throughout all orthopedic patients' hospital stay, the recovery process is continually monitored. Many patients who have orthopedic procedures require rehabilitation services following surgery. Physical and Occupational therapists are available to work with patients at bedside within the first days following surgery. In addition each surgical patient has a Case Manager assigned to review their care and to help coordinate services and equipment if ordered by the physician upon discharge from the hospital.
