“As we recognize National Osteoporosis Awareness Month, I’m especially proud of our advancements in orthopedics,” said Sutter Musculoskeletal Service Line Executive Keegan Kirby. “Outpatient joint replacement care focuses on improving pain management, quality of life, function, mobility, and safety—all essential to help our patients rediscover life without limitations and improve their well-being. Congratulations to all our doctors, clinicians, and staff who strive every day to bring best-in-class care for our 3.3 million patients across Northern California.”

To identify the top-performing hospitals, Healthgrades analyzed patient outcomes at acute care hospitals throughout the country that offer joint replacement in the outpatient environment. This analysis included years 2019 through 2021. Healthgrades’s analysis revealed significant variation in patient outcomes between hospitals during the three-year study period.
