Support & Education

Banner Estrella Medical Center understands the importance of a strong support system.

Each of our patients is assigned a case manager and/or social worker who may assist in identifying financial resources, support groups and community resources to help round out their rehabilitative care.

Banner Health offers extensive support programs and resources to help patients recuperate and recover. In addition, we provide Holistic Therapies such as aromatherapy, reiki, dog therapy and music therapy in support of body-mind healing.

Education
We provide a free Preparing for Surgery Class (PREPS), each Tuesday from 2 to 3:30 p.m. 

We also offer a Joint Replacement Class for those scheduled for a knee or hip replacement. These classes are held from 1 to 2 p.m. on select Tuesdays. Family members and caregivers are invited to attend. Register online or call 602-230-CARE.

You can also find information on joint pain, joint replacement and rehabilitation in our Ask the Expert section.
