“This designation assures our community that we have the ability to provide consistent, high quality orthopedic care.” says George Rohrich, CEO, River’s Edge Hospital. “The community can be confident that we have the right equipment, personnel and training to maintain our orthopedic service line at peak performance. Achieving this designation validates all the effort we have put into orthopedic services and to ensuring the health and safety of our patients.”

The DNV-GL Healthcare Orthopaedic Center of Excellence designation is obtained by achieving certification in at least three (3) orthopedic service line programs based on requirements set forth by DNV-GL Healthcare, and informed by the guidelines of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.

River’s Edge received certifications in hip and knee replacement, shoulder surgery, and spine surgery. River’s Edge Hospital is the third hospital in the U.S. and the first hospital in Minnesota to receive this certification.
