Education Classes 

The EXCEL Program offers a preoperative education class for all patients having joint replacement surgery. As part of the program, patients are required to attend a free 90-minute pre-surgical session taught by a nurse and physical therapist prior to your surgery. Classes are offered in a variety of ways, including in person classes, live virtual sessions via Microsoft Teams, and self-paced video modules.

Please reach out to our team if there are scheduling conflicts and we will accommodate. The class provides information on what to expect before, during and after surgery, including the following topics:
