Tahoe Forest Hospital District has been recognized by the U.S. News & World Report as a High Performing Hospital in the category of hip replacement. The recognition hails from the recently released 2018-2019 Best Hospitals Rankings and Ratings report by the multi-platform publisher.

Hip replacement is one of the nine common procedures and conditions in which US hospitals are rated. Hospitals are evaluated on their performance in hip replacement based on several factors including patient survival, prevention of prolonged hospitalizations, nurse staffing, patient experience, volume and more. Hospitals that treated enough patients received one of three overall ratings – high performing, average, or below average.

Tahoe Forest Health System (TFHS) offers state-of-the-art surgical and non-surgical orthopedic care and sports medicine services, including acute care for fractures, sports medicine and elective joint replacement. The latest techniques in knee, hip and shoulder joint replacement and pain control are used, including direct anterior hip and partial and total knee and shoulder replacement surgery.
