US-based hospital network Encompass Health has expanded its national network with the inauguration of the Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Fort Mill in South Carolina.
The 39-bed facility is said to be the health system’s 165th hospital in the US and ninth in South Carolina.
The new hospital is designed to deliver rehabilitative services for patients who are recovering from serious health challenges such as spinal cord injuries, strokes, amputations and complex orthopaedic conditions to regain function.
It is equipped to provide intensive therapy for patients, requiring a minimum of three hours over five days a week.
The hospital also will provide frequent physician visits and round-the-clock nursing care.
Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Fort Mill has a range of amenities to support patient recovery, including private rooms, a therapy gym equipped with advanced amenities and an activities of daily living suite.
Additional features include an in-house dialysis suite, therapy courtyard, dining room, dayroom areas and an in-house pharmacy.
Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospitals of Fort Mill and Rock Hill area CEO Scott Butler said: “The need for inpatient rehabilitative care in the Fort Mill and greater Charlotte area has been growing rapidly.
“We look forward to providing the kind of compassionate, high-quality rehabilitative care that will help our patients get back to what matters most.”
The interdisciplinary team at the hospital, comprising specialised nurses, therapists, and physicians, will offer comprehensive physical, occupational, and speech therapies for patients.
Encompass Health’s presence spans 165 hospitals across 38 states and Puerto Rico.
Encompass Health South Atlantic region president Ronnie Wagley said: “We’re honoured to be the trusted choice for inpatient rehabilitation in the US.
“Our nationwide network enables us to identify and implement best practices and advanced technologies to support every aspect of a patient’s recovery. We’re excited to bring high-quality care to patients close to home in the Fort Mill and greater Charlotte community.”
In July this year, Encompass Health opened a 50-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Johnston, Rhode Island.
“Encompass Health opens rehabilitation hospital in South Carolina, US” was originally created and published by Hospital Management, a GlobalData owned brand.
