TriHealth, Select Medical Announce Plans to Open TriHealth Rehabilitation Hospital

TriHealth and Select Medical announced they are planning a partnership to build and operate a 60-bed, acute inpatient rehabilitation hospital located in Keystone Parke in Evanston, Ohio. With an expected opening by late 2015, TriHealth Rehabilitation Hospital will serve Cincinnati’s growing need for inpatient rehabilitation. Once it is fully operational, the hospital is expected to employ 180 staff.

Once approved by both parties, the joint venture will create a limited liability company between TriHealth and Select Medical, a national leader in providing medical rehabilitation services and long-term, acute care across the country. TriHealth provides acute rehab services in a 16-bed unit at Bethesda North Hospital, and a 30-bed unit at Good Samaritan Hospital. Once construction is completed for the new hospital, care provided at both units will be transferred to the new rehabilitation hospital. Select Medical will manage the two units until the new hospital is open and then serve as managing partner at the new location.

The new hospital will offer the region the most advanced treatment possible for individuals with spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, stroke, amputation, neurological disorders and musculoskeletal and orthopedic conditions. In addition, Select Medical’s renowned Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation will provide significant support for new clinical program development, specialized services, enhanced access to research and clinical education.
