Internal: Center for Joint Surgery & Sports Medicine Hosts Joint Cruise

From May 2-9, Dr. Ralph Salvagno from the Center for Joint Surgery & Sports Medicine hosted 95 patients on their fourth cruise with a week filled with lots of fun and activities.

The idea was born in 2009, as a way to thank patients and provide them with a cruise that met their needs. Dr. Salvagno enjoys seeing his patients with their new mobility.  

Each year, the division coordinates the trip and activities for their patients. This year, the cruise traveled to the Bahamas and the practice developed special activities such as a game of Joint Jeopardy, tailored exercise sessions, lectures by Dr. Salvagno, an ice cream social and a cocktail party.

These cruises are well-received by patients, who are appreciative of the extra effort taken to provide excellent experiences and celebrate their return to an active life.
