Kindred Rehabilitation Services and South Florida Health have announced a joint venture (JV) to construct and operate an inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, US.
To be built on land located adjacent to Broward Health Medical Center, the new hospital with 40 beds will feature all private rooms.
It will provide rehabilitation treatment to patients suffering from complex neurological disorders, stroke, spinal cord and traumatic brain injury.
The new health care facility will also offer its services to patients with orthopaedic conditions, multiple trauma, amputation and other injuries or disorders.
Kindred Rehabilitation Services president Russ Bailey said: “We are excited to work with South Florida Health and Broward Health – one of the ten largest public healthcare systems in the US – to increase access to high-quality inpatient rehabilitation services in South Florida.
“As with our existing rehabilitation hospitals across the country, this new hospital will be dedicated to passionately advocating for patients and providing the hope, healing and recovery they need.”
