Why St. Vincent's For Orthopedic?

Certified Excellence

St. Vincent’s Medical Center is home to Jacksonville’s first and only Joint Commission certified Orthopedic Center of Excellence. The Joint Commission is the nation’s premier healthcare accreditation entity.

“Patients in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia who need joint replacement surgery can confidently say there’s a center in my area that truly offers expert care,” says St. Vincent’s Orthopedic Center of Excellence Medical Director R. David Heekin, M.D. “A national certifying agency has gone through our program from top to bottom and recognizes it as an excellent program that also happens to have high patient satisfaction rates.”
