The two partners signed a definitive agreement in June 2016 to create the JV to build and operate the new inpatient rehabilitation hospital.
Spread across 58,000ft2 area, the Palomar Health Rehabilitation Institute features 52 private rooms, a secured acquired brain injury unit, in-room dialysis and huge multidisciplinary therapy gymnasiums.
The two-storey stand-alone hospital also features a therapeutic courtyard and a living apartment offering a home-like environment.
These facilities are intended to help patients recover and get used to dealing with daily living tasks at their homes after they are discharged.
