Where Orthopedic Advances Are Put Into Practice
Recognized for outstanding patient care, Oakwood Heritage Hospital is proud to be among the first hospitals in the country to adopt the Stryker^® Navigation System. This break through in surgical monitoring brings computer-assisted precision to total joint replacement. It was Dr. Lawrence G. Morawa, orthopedic surgeon and Stryker consultant, who recognized the potential benefits - to both surgeons and patients - of the Knee Navigation System, and who was instrumental in acquiring it for this leading provider of quality and compassionate services in Southeast Michigan.

Our patients appreciate our commitment to cutting-edge technology and outstanding patient care. The national hospital accreditation committee just awarded the hospital the highest scores in Southeast Michigan, a 98 percent rating on the latest evaluation.
