Virtua Willingboro Hospital

Virtua Willingboro’s accomplished orthopedic surgeons and experienced rehabilitation-medicine staff offer personalized care and a wide range of interventions, from conservative care to complex joint repair and replacement.

Patients stay in private rooms on a dedicated orthopedic floor. Most patients are discharged directly home after surgery.

Specialties include:

• Arthroscopic procedures, including single-incision joint repair
• A full range of total and partial joint replacement procedures, including for the hip, knee and shoulder
• Reverse shoulder replacement for improved joint stability and strength in patients with severe rotator cuff damage
• Shoulder tendon repair using an arthroscopically implanted biologic patch
• Nonsurgical repair of fractured vertebra
• Enhanced recovery protocols to get patients moving and ready to return home
• A strategy that minimizes use of opioids for managing discomfort after surgery

Virtua Willingboro’s behavioral health providers use a range of behavioral health therapies to stabilize and treat patients. The team focuses on safeguarding patients’ medical status in a hospital environment and preparing them for continued outpatient care.

The hospital has four units to meet the needs of the community:

• Crisis: The hospital is the designated emergency screening and crisis intervention program (SCIP) for Burlington County.
• Short-Term Care: For patients who pose a risk to themselves or others, this involuntary-admission unit provides emergency stabilization, individual assessments and short-term inpatient stays.
• Adult: This voluntary unit is for patients who need admission for acute or chronic psychiatric disorders that may be accompanied by or include substance use disorder, suicide risk, hallucination, severe anxiety or mood disorders.
• Senior: This program is for patients age 55 and older who have a psychiatric diagnosis (that may include dementia) but also need medical care.

Virtua Willingboro’s specially trained physicians and nurses provide high-quality emergency care 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Patients with less-serious medical problems may receive treatment in the department’s PromptCare area. PromptCare is designed to give patients quicker access to care to non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries and alleviate long waits that can occur in an ER.
