Many older adults are afraid of falling. And rightly so: About 25% of woman who fall and break a hip will die within one year. And women are more likely to die from a hip fracture than from breast cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer combined.

Fortunately, the Geriatric Fracture Center at Highland Hospital has developed a new approach that is helping to improve outcomes dramatically.

Our program is used by over 100 hospitals worldwide and is the only program in Rochester with a published track record of success.

1. We provide care from both an orthopaedic surgeon and a geriatrician, who work together to handle your fracture as well as your other medical issues.

2. We get you into surgery faster to help you get moving again sooner and prevent hospital-acquired illness.

3. We follow strict protocols that have been shown to improve patient outcomes.

4. We have proven that our approach decreases complications, decreases length of stay and improves quality of care.

5. We are part of one of the top orthopaedic programs in the nation.

If you fall, be sure you ask to be taken to the
