MECHANICSBURG, Pa., Oct. 6, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Select Medical today announced it plans to open a
third inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Central Pennsylvania to serve the expanding
needs of the West Shore region.
The new freestanding hospital, in partnership with UPMC, will
feature 35 private rooms and state-of-the-art rehabilitation
equipment to treat patients recovering from stroke, spinal cord
injury, brain injury, amputation, neurological disorders and
orthopedic conditions.
"We have seen an increasingly high demand for inpatient
rehabilitative care in the region, particularly on the West Shore,"
said Tom Mullin, executive vice
president of hospital operations at Select Medical. "We look
forward to expanding our post-acute care services with the new
hospital to support the needs of patients and their families as
well as our regional acute care partners to ensure the best
possible outcomes for those we serve."
The company currently operates two other inpatient
rehabilitation hospitals on Central
Pennsylvania's East Shore through joint venture partnerships
– Helen M. Simpson with UPMC and
Penn State Health Rehabilitation Hospital with Penn State
Health.
Targeting a 2023 opening, Select Medical will renovate an
existing building located on UPMC's West Shore Campus on Technology
Parkway in Mechanicsburg to
expedite time to market.
