Why Choose the Joint & Spine Center
An Exceptional Patient Experience
The Christ Hospital Joint & Spine Center believes family and friends are an important part of every patient's healing process and we are committed to a patient- and family-centered care philosophy. As part of this commitment, we have eliminated visiting hours and encourage loved ones to stay and to participate in care along with the patient, nursing staff and physicians. To make this easier, we even allow a loved-one to stay in the room over night, should they prefer to.
