Holland Hospital’s rapid growth in joint replacements reflects the high quality and satisfaction that draws patients from around the state and beyond, making Holland Hospital a destination center for superior joint care and customer value.

In October, orthopedic surgeons performed over 100 hip and knee replacement surgeries at Holland Hospital, a record-setting level for the program. This year, we expect to reach close to 900 joint replacements - three times the number just a decade ago.

“We treat every patient like family, with personalized care focused on their specific needs and situation,” said Kristie Dennett, Orthopedics Service Line Manager. “Making sure each patient has an exceptional experience is a top priority with our entire joint care team.”

Whether a patient is a candidate for an innovative technique or a more traditional approach, those who need hip or knee replacement can expect industry-leading outcomes at Holland Hospital. With available options such as robot-assisted technology, anterior hip replacement and advanced pain management techniques, patients may experience less muscle trauma, decreased pain, a shorter hospital stay, an earlier return to home and more normal mobility and function.

The evidence shows it is working. Over 96% of joint patients would recommend Holland Hospital for a friend or family member and the hospital consistently exceeds national quality measures in joint replacement surgery.

This top quality of care has earned Holland Hospital the Healthgrades Joint Replacement in Excellence Award, placing the program in the top 10% in the nation for the seventh year in a row.

People prefer Holland Hospital for many reasons. Outstanding joint replacement care is certainly one. For more information, visit our Joint Replacement Center webpage to learn more.
