The Charles J. August Joint Replacement Center
 The August Family has generously pledged $1 million to establish the Charles J. August Joint Replacement Center. “Our family has had a very long relationship with the System and we have watched it grow with great satisfaction,” said Burt August. “Unity is an outstanding asset to our community—one we are proud to support.”
"I know my father would be proud that his entire family came together to name this center after him, although his intentions for giving were never motivated by naming rights, rather he wanted to give back to the community that was so good to him - we are proud to carry on his tradition," said Andy August.
Set to open in 2014, the new Center will have a home-like atmosphere designed to maximize comfort for our patients and their visitors. The private rooms will be larger, with controllable lighting and music, a flat-screen TV, built-in seating, an armoire, and an easily accessible private bathroom. The new layout also included a spacious community room where patients can dine together and participate in activities together, if they desire. Recent studies have shown this type of socialization accelerates surgical recovery times when compared with patients who remain isolated in their rooms.
