HealthSouth currently runs six inpatient rehabilitation hospitals throughout Tennessee, including Vanderbilt Stallworth Rehabilitation Hospital, a joint venture with the Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC).

HealthSouth said it is in discussions with VUMC for the new hospital, which may present the opportunity to expand their partnership.

Vanderbilt Home Care Services president Laura Beth Brown said: "Vanderbilt University Medical Center has had a long-term, positive relationship of more than 20 years with HealthSouth through our partnership in Vanderbilt Stallworth Rehabilitation Hospital."

HealthSouth operates in 28 states across the country, as well as in Puerto Rico.
