This event is free of charge and open to the public.

Two local physicians from Signature Orthopedics will present on the ins and outs of joint replacements, what patients can expect during these surgeries, and what recovery from such procedures entails. These presentations will have a specific focus on shoulders and knees, and there will also be time for an audience Q&A. Snacks and drinks will be provided free of charge, and self-parking will be available.
