ClearSky Health and MedCore Partners have announced the launch of a new rehabilitation hospital with 36 beds in Lancaster, Ohio, US.

The ClearSky Rehabilitation Hospital of Lancaster is set to offer specialised care for patients recovering from serious injuries and intricate health conditions.

This development marks an expansion of rehabilitation services in Southeast Ohio.

It houses a rehabilitative gym, a dining room offering prepared meals on-site, and a suite engineered to simulate home environments, aiding patients in regaining functional independence. There are also plans to increase the bed capacity to 40.

MedCore founding partner Michael Graham said: "We're excited to officially open this hospital and bring such a critical level of care to the Lancaster community.

"Our partnership with ClearSky Health continues to demonstrate what's possible when healthcare excellence and thoughtful facility development come together."

The hospital is equipped to treat a range of conditions, including stroke, traumatic spinal cord and brain injuries, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, hip fractures and other medically complex cases.

With an anticipated patient turnover of more than 650 individuals in a year, the hospital is also set to create over 100 new healthcare jobs.

Known for its rehabilitative healthcare services, ClearSky Health works in tandem with healthcare facilities to introduce and enhance rehabilitation services.

The company currently operates 12 rehabilitation hospitals across seven states, with plans to establish a medical rehabilitation hospital in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, announced last month.
