At Cottage Health System we consider pain relief a top priority. We will tailor a pain control plan just for you. Effective pain control can help you:

	•	Enjoy greater comfort while you heal.
	•	Get well faster. With less pain, you can start walking, do your breathing exercises, and get your strength back more quickly. You may even leave the hospital sooner.
	•	Improve your results. Studies show that people whose pain is well-controlled tend to do better after surgery and may avoid problems such as pneumonia and blood clots.
