1. Our distinction is
your advantage.
There’s a simple truth about hospitals:
they’re not all the same. And not
every medical center is recognized
as being distinctive.
That’s why Harrison Medical Center is
proud to have been recognized as a
Blue Distinction Center for Knee and
Hip Replacement Surgery® by Regence
BlueShield in Washington. This recogni-
tion shows that we‘ve demonstrated a
commitment to excellence when it comes
to delivering quality care, treatment
expertise, and exceptional patient results.
For you, our Blue Distinction designation
for knee and hip replacement surgery
makes it easier to find the quality specialty
care you deserve, close to home.
Regence BlueShield serves select counties in the state of Washington
and is an Independent Licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association

Joint replacement is a big decision. That’s why
we’ve created the Passport Program at Harrison.
Each joint replacement patient will receive a
passport to help guide them on their journey
from pre-surgery to recovery. Our passports are
designed to help keep you engaged in all aspects
of your treatment. With this program, each patient
can now track their progress as it happens.
Our passports contain a checklist of important
milestones including:
n pre-surgery checklist
n pre- and post-surgery
daily care
n pain management
n rehabilitation
n dietary goals
To learn more about Harrison’s Passport Program, attend a FREE orthopaedic
health talk near you.
