The Joint Ventures Program

Moses Taylor Hospital 700 Quincy Avenue Scranton PA 18510-1798 (570) 340-2100

Joint replacement is for people who have chronic hip or knee pain due to arthritis or other diseases, serious injuries or accidents.Using the latest technologically-advanced equipment, surgeons can replace damaged parts of a hip or knee with a high-tech titanium joint. Following a short recovery period, patients can begin to enjoy life again.

The Joint Ventures Program provides a comprehensive care plan that includes education, wellness, recovery, and rehabilitation. The staff at Moses Taylor Hospital offers individual education and training sessions with patients to help them understand what to expect. While in the hospital, patients are treated with special amenities that make them feel more at home. Rehabilitation begins immediately after surgery in the "Florida" room to help patients get back on their feet. This special room provides the patient with a comfortable setting for meals, daily exercise and socialization with others in the program. Upon discharge, patients may use services of our in-house Allied Services Rehabilitation Unit, Moses Taylor's Home Health and Physical Medicine Department. If needed, they may also be coached by occupational therapists to help them regain life's activities with no time wasted.

Through the Patient Education Department, Moses Taylor Hospital offers several seminars a year on the Joint Ventures Program. The presentation is free and open to the public to address questions and concerns about joint replacement surgery. Contact the Joint Ventures Program, Patient Education Department or our Calendar of Events for information on the next seminar.
