In Louisville, a new 40-bed facility has been opened by Encompass Health and Baptist Health. This hospital offers recovery services to patients who have experienced strokes, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and other conditions. The interdisciplinary team of nurses, therapists, and physicians provide physical, occupational, and speech therapies.
The hospital features private patient rooms, a therapy gym with advanced rehabilitation technologies, a dining room, and an in-house pharmacy. Troy Dedecker, Central region president of Encompass Health said that the hospital’s design prioritizes patient needs as they recover strength, function, hope and independence. The one-story building design allows for greater accessibility for patients being transferred to different treatment areas and easier access for families and visitors.
Baptist Health CEO Gerard Colman expressed excitement about the new hospital as it meets strategic goals by combining next-generation healthcare with improved access to care for the community. Encompass Health operates 163 hospitals in 37 states and Puerto Rico making them a significant player in the field of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in the United States.
