Using precision medicine to personalize your care plan
Precision medicine, also called personalized medicine, is a treatment plan tailored to your molecular and genetic makeup. This individualized approach means that all medical decisions, treatments, practices and products are unique to you, instead of applying a one-treatment-fits-all model to your care.
Your care team creates a personalized care plan to improve your recovery after surgery. Our goal is to shorten your recovery, reduce complications from surgery, prevent loss of movement and reduce pain.
