Subject to several regulatory and other approvals, Kindred plans to complete and open the hospital by the end of the third quarter of 2015.

Kindred currently operates two transitional care hospitals in the Phoenix area, in addition to providing home health, hospice and non-medical home care services.

It is also developing a new 120-bed transitional care centre (TCC) in the region, which is expected to be operational in the second half of 2015.

Dignity Health runs five hospitals and multiple other healthcare services in the Phoenix area. It already had one JV with Kindred in southern California that is focused on home health services.
