Background: Methodist Hospital Joint & Spine Pavilion
While Methodist Hospital currently offers a full range of high quality surgical orthopedic services, the new Joint & Spine Pavilion will further enhance the hospital’s orthopedic care, which includes total joint replacement, spine surgery, fracture care, and physical rehabilitation.
