Welcome! We invite you to experience the Forest Health Medical Center difference!

FHMC is different from either a general medical hospital or a large university medical center. We provide you with specialty surgery and personal care by the best specialty surgeons and staff.

Just like the major medical centers we have the latest modern equipment and facilities, but that is not what makes us different. The personal care you will receive is unlike the typical impersonal healthcare offered in most large university medical centers. At FHMC we are committed to caring for you as our family.

Shoulder - Debridement of Clavicle Acromioplasty

The acromioclavicular (AC) joint is where the tip of the shoulder blade (acromion) meets the collarbone (clavicle). The surface of the acromion can become rough pressing against the shoulder joint causing pain. The acromion can be reshaped through an arthroscopic procedure. The clavicle is debrided to allow for more space and fluid movement of the joint.
