WellSpan Health will host several community health talks throughout the next few months highlighting the comprehensive joint care available to orthopedic patients in York County.
“The pain associated with stiff joints can be so debilitating for our patients that it can have an impact on even the most common of their daily activities such as washing dishes or playing with grandchildren,” said Judith Kopinski M.D., WellSpan Orthopedic surgeon. “Whether a total knee replacement, hand surgery, injections, or just a second opinion, WellSpan Orthopedics provides a range of options to those struggling with pain.”
Kopinski will be one of the featured speakers in the upcoming WellSpan Health Talk Series on total joint care.
WellSpan total joint care is offered as part of a coordinated, comprehensive program, including lab, imaging, rehabilitation, home care and more.
