As a pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, Tim Birtsas faced some
of the Major League's toughest hitters. But it was the pain
in his hips that finally drove him into retirement.

As a professional athlete, Tim was used to getting the best
medical care. That's why he chose the Joint Care Center at
St. Joe. Our doctors, nurses and physical therapists specialize in
joint care and our approach to joint replacement surgery and
rehabilitation has been nationally recognized as a model for
other hospitals. In fact, our patients are able to go home
up to 48 hours faster than the national average.

Today Tim is back doing the things he loves.
"I can play golf. I can swim. I can bike. Before, these activities
were impossible. I never expected to be pain free, but I am.
It has changed the way I get to live the rest of my life."

Better doctors. Better nurses. Better care. It's time for you to
