Capital Growth Medvest has broken ground on University of Louisville Health, Frazier Rehabilitation Hospital — Brownsboro, a freestanding 55,000-square-foot, 40-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital in east Louisville, Kentucky. This project is a joint venture between UofL and LifePoint Health, previously Kindred Healthcare.
Robins & Morton is the general contractor on the project slated for completion in spring of 2023. Earl Swensson Associates is the architect. The two-story, state-of-the-art facility will have all private rooms and focus on acute rehabilitation for patients recovering from stroke, traumatic brain injuries, neurological disorders, orthopedic conditions and amputations.
It will feature large multidisciplinary gyms outfitted with the latest therapy tech, including augmented reality balance trainers, therapy bionics and a full-body exoskeleton. The facility will have transitional living apartments, a therapeutic courtyard, as well as an acquired brain injury unit with its own private dining and therapy gym.
In addition to providing key services for patients, the facility will be a teaching hospital, providing instruction opportunities for doctors, nurses and technicians.
