The orthopedics team at Tri-County Health Care completed their 500th joint replacement since adding the service three years ago.
Orthopedic surgeon Ben Robertson, MD, performed the milestone procedure, Tri-County Health said in a Jan. 21 press release.
"It is really exciting to celebrate our 500th total joint replacement," Dr. Robertson said. "I am proud to be a part of this team of great people at Tri-County Health Care that have all worked so hard to build this program of excellence in joint replacement. We are privileged to be able to take care of so many great patients, and we will continue to provide the highest level of care."
Wadena, Minn.-based Tri-County Health said the milestone kicked off a companywide celebration complete with a commemorative logo and branded shirts. The company said it hosted a giveaway contest to coincide with the surgery.
