HealthSouth Corporation and St. Joseph Health System, a member of Catholic Health Initiatives, have signed an agreement to jointly own and operate a 30-bed inpatient physical rehabilitation hospital in Bryan, Texas. The hospital will be named CHI St. Joseph Health Rehabilitation Hospital, a partnership with HealthSouth.
Initially, the joint venture will own and operate St. Joseph's existing 19-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital located at 1600 Joseph Drive in Bryan, Texas. The joint venture will expand the current location to a 30-bed hospital in the second half of 2016. The state-of-the-art hospital will provide comprehensive, inpatient physical rehabilitation to patients who have experienced stroke, trauma, brain injury, complex orthopedic conditions as well as other major illnesses or injuries.
"The joint venture will provide increased access to high-quality physical rehabilitation distinguished by intensive, individualized therapy and advanced technologies for the residents of Bryan, College Station and the Brazos Valley communities," said Frank Brown, president of the southwest region for HealthSouth. "We commend St. Joseph for their commitment to providing the highest quality rehabilitative care and look forward to working together to continue that reputation."
"As we continue to expand the care and services we provide to residents of the Brazos Valley, we believe it is important to deliver exceptional, patient-centered care at every stage of the healing process," said St. Joseph president and CEO, Rick Napper. "This partnership with HealthSouth will allow us to continue to advance our rehabilitation services by tapping into the expertise of a nationally recognized leader that will further elevate the care we provide."
CHI St. Joseph Health Rehabilitation Hospital will join HealthSouth's nationwide network of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and is the 24th hospital in Texas.
The joint venture's operation of the inpatient rehabilitation hospital, expected to begin in the first half of 2016, is subject to regulatory approvals.
