Hip and Knee Replacement Surgeries Centralized Optimization Referral and Evaluation (CORE) Clinics Horizon has implemented a streamlined referral process for new hip and knee replacement surgery requests. Through this updated process, patients will be referred to a centralized team that will review and triage all cases. As part of the process, some patients may need to attend one of Horizon’s new Centralized Optimization Referral and Evaluation (CORE) clinics to be evaluated before surgery. Here are Horizon’s CORE clinic locations: Moncton 860 Mountain Rd., Suite 307.Moncton, N.B.E1C 2N7Phone: 506-860-2222Fax: 506-877-7289 Miramichi 500 Water St. Miramichi, N.B.E1V 3G5Phone: 506-860-2222Fax: 506-877-7289 Saint John 1 Magazine St., Suite 301.Saint John, N.B.E2K 5S9Phone: 506-638-2294Fax: 506-638-2295 Fredericton 475 Brookside Dr., Suite 2.Fredericton, N.B.E3A 8V4Phone: 506-450-7486Fax: 506-450-7599 Having surgery can be one of the most vulnerable points in a person’s life. Horizon is pleased to offer you these videos to help you or your loved one prepare for your knee or hip replacement. The purpose of these videos is to help you learn what to expect while you are in hospital, and how to care for yourself after surgery so that you can have the best recovery possible. Research shows patients receive the best care when they are active participants. We recommend you select a friend or family member to be your partner in care, someone who will be prepared to help you when you are most vulnerable. This might include assisting you with personal hygiene activities after your surgery when you are home. If you have further questions related to these videos or your upcoming surgery, please contact your local orthopaedic unit or your orthopaedic surgeon. On behalf of the orthopaedic team at Horizon Health Network, we look forward to working with you for your upcoming surgery!
