By GlobalDataLast fall, Centra and Lifepoint Health’s another business subsidiary Lifepoint Rehabilitation , established a separate joint venture collaboration to build a 50-bed acute inpatient rehabilitation hospital.
This hospital will treat patients suffering from stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, complicated neurological illnesses, orthopaedic issues, multiple trauma, amputation, and other injuries or disorders affecting a patient’s functional or cognitive skills.
Both the facilities will be built in Lynchburg on the Simon’s Run site that was purchased by Centra in 2017. Consequently, they will form a new speciality care medical complex.
Subject to customary regulatory approvals, construction for the inpatient rehabilitation facility is estimated to start in the spring of next year, with an anticipated opening in 2025.
The construction of the new behavioural health hospital is scheduled to commence in the summer of 2024.
Once completed, Centra Behavioral Health Hospital will join the growing network of Lifepoint Behavioral Health’s behavioural health hospitals and units around the country.
