Care That Meets the Highest Standards

HSHS St. Anthony’s is one of two hospitals in Illinois (the other is in Dekalb) to have achieved The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval^® for Advanced Total Hip and Knee Replacement Certification.

The Joint Commission is a prestigious, independent accrediting body that defines health care excellence across the nation. In order to receive this certification, HSHS St. Anthony’s had to prove that it meets the highest standards in care from a patient’s first visit with a surgeon through rehabilitation and post-surgical care.

Along with our Joint Commission certification for total shoulder replacement, this advanced certification in total hip and knee replacements demonstrates our commitment to elevating the quality, consistency and safety of our orthopedic care. You’ll notice the difference from your first appointment until your last.

Returning to Your Active Life

HSHS St. Anthony’s wants your joint replacement surgery to be a successful experience so that you can get back to normal activity and enjoy life without joint discomfort.

After surgery, our Orthopedic Care department is designed for a comfortable recovery. It features private rooms and a physical therapy area. Once discharged your physician may order outpatient physical therapy. HSHS St. Anthony's Physical Rehabilitation Department has a well trained staff of physical therapists who specialize in post op joint replacement of the knee and hip.

HSHS Home Care offers skilled healthcare to patients in their homes. You must have a physician’s recommendation to receive Home Care. The physician evaluates your condition and a treatment plan is established.

The Bone & Joint program’s class nurses will follow-up with you in four to six weeks after surgery. They can answer questions you may have about your new joint after you have been home for awhile, such as exercise and care of the joint.
