ARCADIA, Calif. – (April 27, 2017) – USC Arcadia Hospital of
Southern California will open a new Joint and Spine Pavilion on April
30 that will enable the hospital to better collaborate with surgeons to
provide customized orthopedic care for patients, leading to optimal outcomes
and a more active lifestyle.
USC Arcadia Hospital already offers a full range of high quality surgical
orthopedic services, so the new Joint & Spine Pavilion will further
enhance the hospital’s outstanding orthopedic care, which includes
total joint replacement, spine surgery, fracture care, and physical rehabilitation.
The Joint & Spine Pavilion features 24 beds with many amenities. Local
dignitaries, physicians, nurses and hospital staff cut the ribbon at the
new Pavilion on Thursday night.
“The USC Arcadia Hospital Joint & Spine Pavilion will be staffed
by specially-trained nurses and therapists and will provide a wellness-based
approach to care and recovery,” said Hospital President and CEO
Dan Ausman. “Our goal with the new Pavilion is to provide tailored
orthopedic care so patients are able to rehab and get back to their normal
lifestyle as quickly as possible.”
Care for both inpatient and outpatient orthopedic procedures begins before
the patient is admitted to the hospital. Pre-surgical education, care
coordination, and rehabilitation planning are provided by caring and knowledgeable
hospital staff.
“Our specially-trained nurses, physical therapists, occupational
therapists, and dietary staff educate and support patients as they move
through recovery,” Ausman said.
Much of the funding for the new unit was generated at the hospital’s
23rd annual Mardi Gras Food Fest in February at Santa Anita Park, an event
sponsored by USC Arcadia Hospital Foundation. More than 800 guests attended
the celebration, which raised $145,000 for the new Joint & Spine Pavilion.
