PREPARE Center

We Ensure You’ll Be Ready for Your Orthopedic Surgery

When orthopedic surgery is required, we get you physically and mentally ready through our PREPARE program (Procedure Related Education and Pre-Anesthesia Risk Evaluation). This special program educates you completely so you know what to expect at every step of your treatment. The PREPARE program is available in both our Farmington and Glastonbury locations, and includes a complete pre-operative medical risk assessment. Patients complete the program within 30 days of their procedure.

First, a registered nurse contacts you by phone to ask about your medical history. Answers are confidential and will not be shared outside your healthcare team. You'll be asked things like:

• Do you have a health diagnosis such as diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure?
• Are you taking any medications?
• How is your general health?
• How well are you walking?

Then, your 90-minute visit to a PREPARE Center is scheduled. Based on your medical history, you may also be advised to visit a specialist physician before your surgery. For example, if you have a cardiologist (heart doctor) or pulmonologist (lung doctor) that you see routinely, additional testing may be required.
