US-based UC Davis Health has opened a 52-bed rehabilitation hospital on its Sacramento Medical Center campus in California.
The new rehab centre was developed by UC Davis in collaboration with Lifepoint Rehabilitation, a Tennessee-based provider of acute inpatient rehabilitation services.
It is claimed to be the first freestanding rehabilitation facility in Sacramento County and the second fully accredited hospital on the UC Davis Sacramento campus.
This new 58,000ft² rehab facility will more than double the capacity of the previous one.
The new facility comes with a 12-bed brain injury unit, therapy gymnasiums, dialysis suite, four private rooms for bariatric patients and a therapeutic courtyard with bocce ball and pickleball among others.
The centre also includes advanced amenities and adaptive units where patients can practice typical activities of daily living.
