Care Suites
Summit’s state-of-the-art Care Suites at our Vadnais Heights and Eagan locations offer a full-service specialty recovery stay for larger surgeries, such as total knee and hip replacements and advanced spine surgeries like disc replacements, minimally-invasive surgery, and spinal fusions.
The Care Suites serve as a transition between the surgery center and home, and provide specialized nursing and therapy to set you up for the greatest success following surgery.

Are the Care Suites right for me?
We always encourage you to talk to your doctor and ask whether the Care Suites would be the right option for you. Generally, the Care Suites option is recommended for individuals who are otherwise healthy and do not have any significant medical issues.
Your surgeon and an advanced care provider will discuss your health history to determine whether you would be best cared for in an inpatient hospital setting or at Vadnais Heights or Eagan Surgery Center followed by a Care Suites recovery stay.
Physical Therapy
A physical therapist will provide rehabilitation services in the Care Suites area during your stay. With both an in-depth knowledge of the body’s ability to move and function, and a compassionate, inspiring can-do mentality, a physical therapist is an invaluable partner in your journey to maximizing your physical abilities after surgery. Together, you’ll establish goals, and your progress will be monitored closely.
Secure Tracks
The Care Suites are home to Secure Tracks, a specialty physical therapy device that allows you to start walking faster after surgery, prevents falls, and improves your natural gait. The innovative Secure Tracks is a ceiling-mounted monorail system with a support frame that allows you to stand upright, using your upper body for support. You then walk—fully supported and confidently able to adjust to your new joint. The Secure Tracks are used most often for significant hip, knee, and ankle surgeries.
