After many busy days filled with surgeries and appointments, we did it, 500 joint replacements. Even though work can become routine, I always remember that every time we complete a surgery, we’ve changed someone’s life for the better. We’ve given them a life with less joint pain.
The 500th joint surgery went very well, and that outcome is commonplace because our team is experienced and we pride ourselves on excellent care. I want to thank our team for always putting patients first and rising to the challenge. I feel very blessed to be part of this achievement. Dr. Ben Robertson has worked hard to build the joint replacement program at Tri-County Health Care and we are surrounded by outstanding healthcare professionals that helped make this milestone possible.
I also want to thank our patients. It takes courage to go through a total joint replacement, especially during this time of change.
I’m looking forward to 1,000. Thank you.
Lorinda Zigan is a physician assistant in the orthopedics department at Tri-County Health Care.
