The Orthopedic and Total Joint Replacement Program at Healdsburg District Hospital (HDH) has ranked among the top 10% of hospitals nationwide for joint replacement care, and has repeatedly received recognition for producing excellent patient outcomes.

Healdsburg District Hospital welcomes these findings from objective, third party organizations, which further solidify the hospital’s long-standing reputation for service excellence.
Patients of the program receive care from a multidisciplinary team of in-house rehabilitation specialists, including physicians, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, case managers, and orthopedic technicians.
