The vast majority of care that we provide at Portneuf’s new Sports Medicine
Institute will never necessitate surgery.
However, when surgery is required we want you to know you are in good hands.
In fact a highly respected consumer advocacy group recently
published overall surgery ratings for hospitals across
the country. In the report Portneuf was given the
highest possible ranking.
This kind of recognition really helps validate all the care and attention to detail
that our surgical teams and their support staffs provide. We are committed to
continue on this path of excellence and to do all those things necessary to
maintain your trust and confidence.
