Orthopedic Center of Excellence

Coffee Regional Medical Center is proud to be designated as an Orthopedic Center of Excellence. This designation affirms CRMC’s excellence in the provision of diagnostic, surgical, and therapy services related to orthopedic care.

Orthopedic surgery has experienced many innovations over recent years, resulting in increased patient expectations for evidence-based, quality care.  The Orthopedic Center of Excellence designation is obtained by achieving certification in at least three (3) orthopedic service line programs. CRMC’s orthopedic service line programs under this designation include Hip & Knee Replacement Certification, Shoulder Surgery Certification and Spine Surgery Certification. Program certification is valid for three years and requires subsequent annual surveys to validate continuing compliance.
