Hip Buddy Program

Find a Hip Buddy

Sometimes You Just Need Someone Who Gets It.

Preparing for hip replacement or recovering from one can bring up a hundred questions — including some you may never think to ask your surgeon. A Hip Buddy is someone who has been through it and understands the little things, the big feelings, the strange questions, and the victories that suddenly seem enormous.

What a Hip Buddy offers

Someone who has actually been through hip replacement — not a pamphlet.

A friendly ear for the questions you might not want to ask your surgeon.

Peer support and shared experience, not medical advice.

No pressure, no agenda — just one Hipster helping another.
