Total Joint Center
The Total Joint Center at the Miriam Hospital is the region’s highest volume joint replacement program with clinical and quality outcomes that rank among the best in the nation.

The MIUI offers cutting-edge treatments and specialized urologic care to patients through a variety of minimally invasive surgical options, such as laparoscopic and robot-assisted procedures. Our goal is to preserve function and restore patients to health.

Home to Rhode Island’s first Certified Stroke Center, The Miriam Hospital’s expanded emergency department offers increased capacity, privacy, efficiency and superior patient-centered care provided 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by committed physicians, nurses, and other critical staff.
