Center for Fracture Care
The Center for Fracture Care at South Baldwin Regional Medical Center is designed to help older adults recover after a fracture – usually as a result of osteoporosis. Our program offers a team of experienced surgeons and physicians with caring and specially trained nurses, therapists and technicians. Together with the patient and family, we develop a plan to manage care and treatment after a fracture. Our goal is to provide seamless coordinated care with a positive outcome.
Studies have shown that fracture patients who are quickly evaluated and treated have improved outcomes. That’s why we implemented a fast track approach for patients arriving in our emergency department with a suspected fracture. Expedited procedures and priority evaluation allow most patients to be cleared and prepared for surgery to repair the fracture within 24 hours of admission.
Within our hospital, we have created a special area just for the care of our fracture patients and their families. Staff is chosen for their positive attitudes, motivational skills and their desire to provide outstanding service. In addition, they have been specially trained to provide clinical care for people who have undergone surgical repair of a fracture.
